There has been a flurry of new additions to the BirdQuiz collection as we end 2014. First, I have been busy sorting through backlogged photos and received submissions from other photographers, so many new photos are being added to the quizzes, resulting in higher quality photos and additional species to the North American-based quizzes. Second, I was able to create a new Birds of Ecuador quiz, featuring birds from the eastern slope of the Andes. Combined with the two previous quizzes on Western slope and central highland birds of Ecuador, it is a great introduction to the species that can be seen in this birding hotspot.  Finally, I haven’t been to Europe often (and when I have been there it typically wasn’t a bird-oriented vacation), but I was able to start a new slideshow quiz containing photos of Birds of Europe. Enjoy these additions, and check back for further expansion of the collection in 2015.
