President Brian Bissell
After a refreshment break we held a brief business meeting. President Brian Bissell gave a little Pop Quiz, asking us to identify what he had around his neck. It was his father's old Audubon Bird Call. In the days when a lot of us started birding this piece of equipment was de rigueur. Now it seems to have fallen by the wayside. You cranked it making all sorts of squeaky sounds that were supposed to be irresistible to birds. Most of us now find that pishing works just as well.
