Ha! Not while I run this mission!! I like them too much!! ;-)
Thank you Christy. I didn't even think about them not being raptors :) If you change the mission, I will gladly remove this spotting.
Great capture Cindy! Although these guys are not true "raptors", I definitely have included them in the Raptor mission...I'd love your spotting in the mission! ;-)
