[obol] Birding Survey

[Diane Cavaness]

I received this message on another list and thought Oregon birders might wish to answer it as well.

<<Hello Wyoming Birders - 

I am an educator and birder from New Jersey.  Currently, I am working on a project to help get more of our youth interested in birding. It would be very helpful to get an idea of how other birders got their start.

While the project is not focused strictly on Wyoming, it could potentially have a positive impact on the birding community as a whole. I have been receiving responses from many different listserves around the country. 

Below is a very brief, informal survey relating to both your early days of birding and any prospective young birders in your life. Please e-mail your responses to me off-list at Dayvm at aol.com

1)  How old were you when you were first introduced to birding?
2)  Who "recruited" you into birding? (relation to you but feel free to include name also)
3)  Where were you living when you started birding?
4)  What is it about birds or birding that hooked you?
5)  Do you have any children in your life? (including nieces/nephews, grandchildren, students, scouting troop, etc.)
6) If yes to number 5, what are their ages? 

Please feel free to forward this e-mail to any other birders you think may be interested in participating!

Thanks in advance,
