  • "I had the pleasure of attending Experiencing the Spring Warbler Migration webinar presented by Amy Simso Dean as part of the DNR Outdoor Skills and Stewardship series on April 24th. I wanted to thank Amy for a phenomenal, interesting, educational presentation. In my opinion, Amy’s presentation style could get anyone into birding and I applaud her for her efforts. I could listen to Amy speak about birds all day and will be forwarding the recorded presentation to my friends. Thank you, Amy, for your time sharing your knowledge, humor, inclusivity, and enthusiasm with the group-- I will be a better birder thanks to you!
