Hey Tony- KEEP THE QUIZ GOING!!! I'm probably like a lot of people. I haven't submitted an answer to the quiz for several years. I tell myself that I don't have the time to spend to look through my field guides but to be honest I'm just too lazy. I still keep a guess in my head and read your answer very carefully. I would guess that for every one person who submits an answer there, there are 10-15 people who read the answer. I love this quiz. The way that a lot of people become good birders is to have a mentor who shows them different species and teaches them what identification marks to look for. This quiz is like a mentor for everyone. We are so lucky in Colorado to have someone of your expertise who is willing to spend their your time to teach people. I know it takes a lot of time and you don't get enough positive feedback. I used to keep a paper copy of each quiz. Now I just keep a list of the quiz numbers and what species or species it is about. The information in these quizzes is invaluable. If I have identification problem with a species, I will go back and see if Tony has had anything to say about it. And usually there is something helpful there. I'd love to see a search engine hooked to it so a person could easily find what has been discussed about a certain species. Would that be possible, Rachael? Anyway, please don't stop doing the quiz. The birders in Colorado need more of the information that is contained in your head. Thanks for all the knowledge that you've given me over the past few years.

Hey all: Yup, it's that time of week, again, time for the posting of the solution to last week's Mr. Bill Mystery Quiz. You can find it by clicking on the link at the CFO home page ( www.cfo-link.org ). And, don't forget to check out this week's quiz and submit your answer before next Sunday midnight. The response rate has dropped considerably and we're trying to figure out whether and in what form the quiz continues.
