Re: Ornithology B/C
Hey guys, just wanted to post some stuff about the B event.
22(?) Stations, approx. 3 questions each. 2 minutes each, all real specimens.
Super super super easy test, placed 4th. Ecstatic.

Re: Ornithology B/C
I'm in Pennsylvania, of course I didn't get to nats. My team got 6th at states which was actually really good for us – but I won over half of our medals. And of course I'll never get to nats in C division because Harriton and Penncrest have a monopoly.tuftedtitmouse12 wrote:nats didn't seem hard? and well koko, you didn't really have much time...i mean, 12 days?

Re: Ornithology B/C
I think that since the test was so easy, the top ten placements were actually very close, maybe seperated by a few points. I believe there were 67 questions, and some teams may have gotten 1 or 2 questions wrong.

Re: Ornithology B/C
Sounds about right. My guess is the goatsucker and the anatomy stations could've screwed up some rankings. But we got 4th, so I'm happyhavenguy wrote:I think that since the test was so easy, the top ten placements were actually very close, maybe seperated by a few points.

Re: Ornithology B/C
Yes, there were five bird calls, but they also projected 4 birds up on the screen and one of them was the bird call. There were 10 questions related to bird calls, you had to identify 5 of them and the other questions were about the bird.
There were maybe 20-25 stations (they didn't have a specific number on the test) each one 2 minutes. About 5 vocab questions, Maybe 7-10 questions about bird anatomy, 2 about nests, a lot that asked the order, family, common name, etc., about 5 that asked habitat. Almost every station had id.
The only 2 stations I had trouble with was the one that asked "Which species out of the ones above is closest to #20". I said B. Also the one with the real nest and the barn swallow hanging off a tree.

Re: Ornithology B/C
I dunno, I just suck at ID. The station had some kind of goatsucker and just asked for the common name and the order.
Out of curiosity, do you remember what you got on the anatomy station?
