This is a new kind
of birding adventure. The goal will be to identify and flesh-out
as many techniques as possible that birders use to find and
identify birds. As we proceed we'll volunteer ideas on how to
carry on and whenever anyone recognizes a technique, they'll write
it down. All will do the same, experts and beginners alike. At
the end, a volunteer will take the notes home and put them down
into a coherent techniques list then send it to all participants
to certify and to polish the results. The eventual goal is to
produce a little "Grand Valley Audubon Birding Techniques
Manual". If you are interested in learning and contributing to
this interesting exploration we would welcome your participation.
We want all birding levels to join in, i.e. experts, as well as
beginners. |

We have
arranged for two groups of 10 to participate on the float. While
one group is on the boat the other group would be on-shore looking
for non-shorebird species. On a first-come first-served basis
(The first float will be filled first) we would have space for 10
on each float plus the boat owner and the trip leader.
