I haven't figured out "earthy discussion"...

Quiz birds courtesy of the Goshutes Raptor Project, last year, during
our 4650 raptor banding season during which, of course, we macho raptor
types never thought about anything but raptors...though I'm sure I
have a bushtit quiz somewhere.

Oh, I have about 100 more of these, will post 'em sporadically.

I really am impressed, particularly the "marbled muirlet" answer.
GOOD JOB!
