On this episode I have my first guest from the Czech  Republic, Mikuláš Řimánek. I met Mik when he was a teenage Rotary Exchange student and had the chance to get out birding with Mik then.  Since then Mik has become a leader in his country in the effort to recruit more youth into birding, and his story is both inspirational and exciting for me.  I think you'll enjoy hearing Mik's story.  You can reach out to Mik on Facebook or Instagram.  You can see his eBird profile here.  As I mentioned please let me know both about successes and efforts in your area to bring more young people into our wonderful hobby and passion.  Leave info in the podcast review section, or on the BirdBanter.com contact section. Also read more about the episode and related topics on the BirdBanter.com blog here.  Until next time. Thanks for listening, and good birding and good day!
