Missed bobolink yesterday. What is the fascination with obscure bird names?

Early QB today.

congrats to both of you for yesterday's QB...I would have been right up there with you were it not for these two misses "ironwork" and "ironworking"

Just got QB.

for a change, huh?  It seems like you've got the QB market cornered while I'm holding down the fort at QB -2 again

Another early QB. 

Never heard of tantalum.

Me either.

Missed “lacteal” yesterday.

Got QB today with one lucky guess.

Congrats jimmurphy!

Still one lucky guess short today.  Missed lacteal and acetal yesterday (unknown), also electee (facepalm)

Just pulled QB directly outta somewhere!

A few somewhat obscure words
