I’ve been away from Birder’s Lounge for a couple of weeks, and I am glad to return with the next Challenge for Charity contest. The first person with the most correct answers will win a $10 donation in their name, to the wildlife/nature/conservation charity of their choice. If the winner correctly answers the Bonus question, the donation increases to $15. If this is your first visit, please see the Challenge for Charity page for a history of winners and their charities, along with “official rules.” Good Luck!
