What these ex-stringers have in common is that they can never recover alone…it takes a village to raise someone from a stringer into a birder. After you have collected their mistakes, dissect them. Some say that there is no right or wrong way to bird…but that is wrong. Is this what goes on in the mind of a stringer?
