Thank you for a wonderful bird walk! It was really informative, and I really appreciate your knowledge, enthusiasm and kindness ... It was a great introduction to birding in the region!

I couldn't believe I would see that many birds. It was my first Audubon bird walk and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope to bird with you again. Cheers.
