I have also managed to update all the mystery birds with their proper IDs, so please do check them by either clicking on the original links i sent a couple days ago, or by going to the subindex ("bird ID quiz") for all the mystery birds and reviewing them there;

i also wanted to draw your attention to a superb photoessay series by Joel Sartore, who has generously shared his work with my readers before. This time, National Geographic is kindly sharing his photography of endangered species with us, so i highly recommend that you take a look;
