I just did it and got 20/20. With one exception the photos were fine, and I had reasonably identifiable birds, at least for me, except there was one that was a 50/50 guess on a Dowicher.

Let's go to the opposite part of the country to Monroe , County Florida. https://ebird.org/quiz/setup
Monroe county is the southern most county in the contiguous 48, contains the Florida Keys, was established as a county in 1823 and has an approximate population of 81,000.
Thought I'd try to add a ...

Okay I like the idea of of keeping it more range specific, so let's go with the Likely option.
Also is one week too far apart? I could add one every Saturday night, and Wednesday morning. That would keep the pace up a little faster, while keeping a weekend day available within the time frame ...

Oh I liked this thread to. Are you keeping a list?

Can't belive it took me that long.

I got 16 out of 19, I had four different species of gulls, two of which I missed. And the one I skipped was feild notes and a sketch.

Since the recent discussion about eBird quizzes, I thought it might be fun do do similar to the bird of the week thread and select a county somewhere in the country every week. Then post your results.
I'd don't know if anyone will care for this but why not try?
For settings I will always be using ...

That's weird Palo Pinto loaded instantly just now. Well I guess it's working. Thanks everybody.

Okay Texas finally did work after several attempts still not luck with Palo Pinto County or the entire country.

Okay that's just weird other counties are working, and other states are working....

What settings are you putting in?

Vivaldi browser (Chromium) on Windows 11

Brunswick County NC
Year-round
Likely and infrequent
Photos


Exact same setting, browser, etc, and Brunswick County NC works. How ever the exact same conditions except changing to Palo Pinto Co. TX. TX. or the USA ...

I had forgotten about this thread

Could I have a refresher on how to detect titmouse hybrids


There will not be any at Palo Duro. But if you go anywhere within the main core of this area that is all there is. https://ebird.org/map/bcxtit1?neg=true&env.minX=&env.minY=&env.maxX=&env.maxY=&zh=false&gp=false&ev=Z&excludeExX=false ...

I say never, one time one loaded after numerus attempts.

I used to do the ebird quizzes when I started birding and found them a good learning tool, didn't do them for a few years, then again when I went to Honduras. So that's 2019-2023, and they worked fine, some time since then they never will load... Either just spinning forever or eventually replying ...

Perhaps some photos of them in there more normal setting would help the id .

No, I'd never seen one on the wing or from below. My handful of sightings are all of birds on the ground, and only once at less than 75 yards.

EDIT - boy, marking text as Bold really doesn't stand out much, does it ...
