Yeaaa! Dave and I finished our three shadowing sessions with Denise, Robin and Penny, and Gary over the past two weeks. They were all very knowledgeable. Denise is very well versed in the birds and especially ducks. Robin and Penny are the resident flower experts. They also head up the seed collecting activities at the refuge. Gary is awesome at recognizing bird calls. We learned a lot about the refuge, identified new birds, and had a great time.
So, we are now official roving wildlife interpreters at the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. We met with Nancy Haugen, the volunteer coordinator, and received our hats and shirts. We have a lot to learn, but we are excited to get started!
We went on our first solo roving trip today. We had a nice day, although it was rather breezy. Our three hours went pretty quickly. Here are some pictures:
