Since signing up with BirdBrainer.app, I've found one of the best ways to learn how to identify birds is the Pot Luck Quiz. Our Chief believes in repetition and that's what the quizzes do ~ you can take as many as you want as often as you want! Who knows, you might learn the 'wee burds' of Scotland! (see what I did? ok, I'll see myself out ...)
