Today we were without binoculars and had to ID for our TAs! Very stressful for me, but I am so happy that I was able to successfully identify 9 of our 14 bird species by myself (and two or three of those birds we did not learn about in class, so even better!). It was very rewarding to be able to do this because before this course I could not tell you a thing about birds. Now, I can ID many without even seeing them! Feeling very thankful for the opportunities to learn outside of the classroom, the time, and effort that requires.
