["Renee Grebe" <grebe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This should be basic training for anyone nervous about doing a CBC! 
Lynda, thank you so much for sharing!

I have to admit I was nervous to join my first CBC a few years back
because I had no sense of flock size.  I still have a hard time with it,
but this game is a really neat insight into how to get a gist for bird
counting (in large numbers).  If only I had known about this a few years
back - I would've gained confidence!  It was especially fun to see how my
accuracy skyrocketed after a little bit of experience - just like real
life!

Looking forward to this warm weather weekend for some nice birding, and
perhaps some flock counting!
