Crypto Ornithology

This year’s easter puzzle enters the world of birds. The English language is filled with beautiful bird-names. There are Thrashers, Larks, Boobies, Sparrows, Jays, Finches and so many more. Did you know there’s a White-breasted Nuthatch? Or a Black-capped Chickadee? I hope you do, because this year all the answers are bird-names!

Solving these cryptograms can be as easy as saying what you see out loud, but some may take more time. Here’s an example from last year. Every cryptogram gives one letter for the solution to the puzzle.
