THE PUZZLE AERIE:
BIRD RHYMES |
|
(Note:This puzzle was suggested to me by Jack Sanders, columnist for several Connecticut newspapers and author of several books about the outdoors. His most recent book, The Internet Guide to Birds and Birding, published by McGraw-Hill in November 1999, contains some very kind words about our Chapter web site and much useful information about birding sites on the web. While checking out some information about our chapter web site, Jack mentioned that he'd come across a puzzle on the Yakima, WA Audubon web page www.audubon.org/chapter/wa/yakima/riddle.htm. What I found there led to this one.) Each definition below yields two words that rhyme, one of which is a bird name. For example, the definition Waterfowl in a jam yields Stuck duck. Or: Made of terrycloth and hoots defines Owl towel. 1. Fishing gear for catching blackbirds 2. On safari seeking turquoise bird 3. Silent, duck-like swimmer 4. Raptor presentation 5. Last train car for a V-formation flyer 6. Flying insect-eaters who work nights together 7. Sparrow-like bird that stole Christmas 8. White Cliffs wader 9. Keeps pants on underwater walker 10. Sandhill diver 11. Woodpecker made of interwoven willow 12. Attorney-General's ocean divers 13. Lek-wear 14. Seabird made of red precious stone 15. Blanket for a long-necked wader 16. Not very wide city-bird 17. Small, black-necked goose is incapable 18. Mad, long-legged, long-necked bird 19. Plump warbler 20. Tree-climber pager 21. Ave! Scaly bird! 22. Runs firm of brilliant forest birds 23. Hawk-like bird with IQ 300 24. Meditative bird with upward-cocked tail 25. Birdseed for a shorebird |
