That DD’s in the remaining category of Galapagos & she’s found it behind the $800 spot while leading w/ $4800; Rob ($3600) & William ($2200) follow her. She tries for $1200 extra.

“‘Darwin’s finches writ large’ was how Carl Safina described this soaring bird. The waved type here in the Galapagos is the only truly tropical type & it has evolved distinct markings that help provide its name.”

GOVERNMENT & POLITICS
PAINTED LADIES
I’M A HUGE FAN!

William ($4200) picks a TDD when he jumps at the $1200 Government & Politics clue; Nancy’s a close 2nd w/ four grand.

The govt. reached a milestone this yr. awarding its 10 millionth of these protections; more than 100K have gone to IBM.

“What are patents?”…he got that correct. As this rd.’s getting late Nancy ($5600) hits DD #2 to end the answers under I’m a Huge Fan!; she’s $600 behind Rob for 2nd & $2800 away from 1st. She bets the two.

Die-hard fans of this ’75 movie were naturally “Finaddicts”.
