I've been one of the volunteers for several years now and I'd like to encourage more of you to sign up and participate. It's a lot of fun. There is a game for kids to guess the bird, and the kids certai9nly enjoy it. And we get to spread the word about the birding hobby and how fun it is.
You will get a few questions about birds that someone has seen. I just try to listen and if I can venture a guess at what they are talking about I do. Sometimes I can't figure it out (non-birders aren't always good at describing the bird) and then I just tell them I don't know. Some also want to tell you about "their bird" meaning one in their backyard or up at the lake, which can be very interesting. Over all it is a fun time, so please sign up and spread the word about birding.
