    Give it a try.

    This thing is great for newbies and old timers alike.

    I did all waterfowl on all habitats and the damn Eiders and Scoters kept killing me. I knew what they were, but King, Surf, Black, Spectacled, hell I dunno. I don;t hunt em. I scored consistently at 60%. Was hoping for more wood ducks and teal I guess.

    Try the damn Flock estimator test as well. To me that was hard.

    I looked back at the test where it shows you the results and 6 of 10 were eiders or scoters. I'm lucky to have gotten a 50%.
