About this bird-identification crossword
Four Across answers meet four Down answers about selected birds, using flight, feeding, plumage and common-name details. The 9×10 grid includes a qualified American bird name and a waterbird name completion. All clues are written; no photograph or bird call is needed. Some letters have no crossing clue, so use the full description as well as the letters you know. This is a short identification game rather than a complete bird guide.
