Tony and all, I'm heartily in agreement with those who support the quiz. Thank you to Tony for taking the time to present challenging photos and in-depth answers, and to CFO for providing the venue for the quiz. It's changed the way I approach bird ID, in a big way. After "lurking" for some time, I started actually submitting answers a little over a year ago, challenging myself to do 10 quizzes and keep my success rate above 50 percent. If I managed that, I'd continue, if not, well... I think I've only missed two quizzes in that time, because I was traveling. I've always been, and probably always be, a pretty casual birder, staying fairly close to home, so I didn't have great expectations. It's amazing at how differently a person looks at these photos, and at the process of bird ID, when confronted with a commitment to write up an answer for someone with Tony's qualifications -- and then actually hit "send." I hope more folks will take the challenge, and that the quiz can continue.
Thanks again, Margie Joy Pueblo West, CO 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.
