Trouble is, if they are also chasing birds in a race, they aren’t likely to stop still very long…

But I do know that just handing out forms doesn’t work too well. You really need to stand over people while they fill them in … gentle psychological pressure. ;oP

Yes, many people carry fieldguides. Others just jot down descriptions if they don’t know the bird and look it up afterwards.

We handed out an enormous stack of forms, but seemed to get very few of them back. Sigh.
