We could use an official Opening Day for the spring birding season, similar to openers for fishing or the various hunting seasons. Birding gets some general media attention during the Christmas Bird Count, our token bird story. We certainly don’t get the coverage given to opening of the walleye or deer seasons. Let’s get the governor out for birding’s opening day, in a state park, binoculars around his neck. Do you think the evening news would cover the event, give us a shot of the gov’s checklist? If invited, would the governor even show up? Is birding important enough for this to happen? Does it matter?
