Today’s quiz features a bonus

We have a winner! Congratulations to Chuck, who will get the signed copy of Bright Wings. Thanks to everyone who played, there will be another chance next week.

Everyone who submits a perfect score by 6 PM Eastern Time on Thursday May 3rd, will be entered in a drawing to win a prize.

The prize this week is a signed copy of my collaboration with poet Billy Collins –
Bright Wings: An Illustrated Anthology of Poems About Birds – a fantastic collection of bird-related poetry with fifty of my illustrations. (It would make a great Mother’s Day present…. Alternatively, you can just order it from Amazon).

After you get all five questions correct, just be sure to click the “Get Results” button at the end of the quiz and then submit your results.

There is no limit to how many times you can attempt the quiz, so feel free to keep trying until you get all five questions right.¹

Scroll down to take the quiz, and good luck!

With thanks, again, to Brian E. Small for providing the beautiful photos. You can see lots more at his website.
