Done! Thanks for creating a mission focused upon reproductive processes -- hopefully there will be sufficient interest to warrant expanding the territory covered by your mission to include all of North America. One could make a compelling case for making this a Global mission.
Thank you so much for adding this awesome spotting! Yes, I would love it if you would also include other spottings of animals breeding. Thanks also for pointing out the problem with the link.
Thanks for the invitation, Mandy! I just added this spotting to the "Southern Romance" mission. Would you like me to add similar spottings of mating pairs of animals? BTW, the address you provided for the mission is broken. The correct address is as follows: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1141...
Cool! Will you please add this spotting to my mission, "Southern Romance" (http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1141...
