Ducks, Grebes, and Geese ID Quiz ~ test your yourself on these beautiful birds here in Wisconsin!

Ducks, Grebes, and Geese ID Quiz ~ test yourself on these beautiful birds that can be found sometime during the year here in Wisconsin! There are 52 images, see how well you do. Answers are below the last photo at the bottom of the page. There is a chance you may see some color variation in ducks, grebes, or geese considering sex, age or time of year. There are books, FB groups, phone apps, classes to lean more. There are also presentations to help in learning bird ID, look for details at your local nature center. Please let me know if you see an error, thank you. Special Note: I have compiled a list of 52 images of ducks, grebes, and geese. I am missing a few of the images for various reasons, sorry. This quiz may not be as easy as the warbler or shorebird quiz! Don’t look for these ducks in the quiz as they are missing: Northern Pintail fm, Barrow’s Goldeneye fm.
