How well do you know birds?

The only of these questions that I see still unresolved (replied, but wrong species) and that I know, is the 4. It's not the swan but the Kori bustard or at least this is what I've learned. All other questions have been already correctly replies or in some cases (2, 9) I don't know.

Brazil! I know this from the book Vagrancy in Birds, but it's such an unexpected country that nobody would be able to guess it out of the blue.

I always heard that the Mute Swan was the actual heaviest bird since one specimen was heavier than any Kori Bustard.

2. I believe there are only 3 non-Hawaiian species endemic to single States, 2 in California, and 1 in Florida.

1. This Asian bird was first recorded in North America in 2010, but the record was not accepted until 11 years later.
2. This bird is rather surprisingly the state bird of 6 states. Not bad for a bird most people wouldn't be able to name!
3. The bird with the longest incubation period.
4. This iconic bird gets its name from the resemblance of the feathers on its head to writing quills.
5. This bird has the longest bill.
6. This is the only non-waterfowl bird to ever appear on a Federal Duck Stamp.
7. The fictional (and passed for real) bird made up and painted by Audubon in an attempt to sell more copies of his book.
8. The town of Chicken, Alaska was named that way because none of the locals could spell the name of this native bird.
9. The rarest bird in the world - at the moment.
10. The only flightless passerine species known from life, now extinct.
