#5 Gray Crowned-crane (Balearica regulorum), Kenya
One of my favourite birds, sadly just promoted to Endangered status as a result of the bird trade and agricultural poisons.

#8 Corvus cornix + Corvus corone: Vienna is a contact zone of their natural habitat, and here in Vienna you can see all shades and blends of crossbreeds between them.
(You don't often see them on ice like here, obviously.)

And here I was all sad that I didn't shoot this in time for the "fluffy" contest:
#21 fledglings incert., possibly Parulidae
Fledglings, of course. Loud calls led me to poke my longest lens (plus a macro tube) into an ornamental juniper bush, and there they were.
I'm not 100% certain of the species ID, can anyone confirm?
