Identify birds with real-time data birding quizzes

PlayFlyway is a location-based bird identification quiz powered by live eBird data endpoints. Train for field identification using regional checklists. The application tests taxonomy knowledge through high-resolution photos, and precise field marks. Compete on global and regional leaderboards.
Really cool concept for birders. One thing that would genuinely help me is a sound clip playback for each question so you can practice identifying by call and song, not just visuals.
One thing that would make this way more useful for me is a timed "mystery bird" audio mode using the eBird media library, so you could practice identifying calls and songs the same way you practice visuals. Would also help prep for dawn chorus surveys.
Finally an app that uses real eBird sightings to quiz you on what is actually around you. Hit a regional checklist near my hometown and got stumped by a juvenile yellow-crowned night heron I would have walked right past in the field.
