Another Zooniverse project (besides Numbat Discovery in Western Australia) is to detect animals ingesting oil from oil spills in the Peruvian Amazon. I started this project but either my computer or my eyes don't have good enough resolution to see what I had to see. Before I quit, I found one bird I could "collect" and identify.
Speckled Chachalaca...
Another Zooniverse project I am working on is in Kenya. I have found quite a few "collectable" birds. I think it this one is an Egyptian Goose.

| Vulturine Guinea Fowl |
 |
| Yellow-necked Spurfowl |

| Yellow-necked Spurfowl |
More Kenyan birds... would love help identifying them...
 |
| My guess is Laughing Dove |
 |
| Ostrich |
 |
| Egyptian Goose |
 |
| Blacksmith Lapwing (one of the moderators id'ed this one) |
 |
| House Crow ? |
 |
| Superb Starling ? |
 |
| White-bellied Bustards (another moderator-id) |
 |
| Helmeted Guinea Fowl and Egyptian Goose (id'ed for me) |
And then there's the oxpecker, who spends its time picking ticks off large animals. I think this is the red-billed oxpecker, who spend nights sleeping in giraffe's groins, apparently because giraffes don't lie down and squish them.
