	maybe a picture for each bird would be on improvement - seems a bit strange to have just 4 on their own - good quiz though

	I tried to add pics to each individual answer, but as far as I can tell, the only place I can add the < img src > tag is in the opening explanation part of the quiz (where the four raptors are now). I think you have to be a trusted superuser to be allowed to put pics in the actual puzzle part of the page.

	Ok, I added pics for all 34 raptors in the intro to the quiz. :)

	Super helpful on learning my raptor classification. Great stuff, and thanks for the work that went into creating this!

	Wonderful quiz! The pictures are well chosen, showing relevant field marks - like the dark axillaries on the Prairie Falcon. I really enjoyed the pictures and it was good reinforcing exercise in basic raptor ID. If I were to add any constructive criticism, which is probably unnecessary, I'd say the pictures are maybe a tad small, and that I was able to anticipate the next bird based on taxonomic groupings. Thanks for making it!

	I got so desperate as to try Maltese Falcon and Millennium Falcon. Great quiz!

	Imust say that this is a great quiz..I have been around BOP all my life and have been a falconer for over 50 years flying all kinds of raptors and this game was a brain teaser..31 was a good score out of a possible 34.I hope all will trust there brain and give this a try..Good job. How about something on owls,if you want to fry your brain!!

	Nice quiz. 1st two pictures should trade places.

	At least I got all the ones in the eastern US. I'm not so familiar with a lot of the blank-tailed buteos besides red-tailed. Awesome quiz and it's helped me with scientific names.
