I think we need more Birdification, rather than certification. Maybe
better yet, a birding vacation!

Did anyone notice the warning on the test instructions page:

=20

"There is a penalty for failing a test. Although the total number of
failed tests taken will not be recorded on this site, this information
may be made available to employers, agencies, etc., upon request."

Holy cow, this certification is hard core.

I was browsing various sites during my lunch hour and came across this
site that I haven't seen or heard about before - maybe I missed it the
notice, but anyway I plan to spend more time looking at it. =20

About the Wisconsin Birder Certification Program=20

The Wisconsin Birder Certification Program (WBCP) is being developed at
the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity <http://www.uwgb.edu/biodiversity>
of the University of Wisconsin Green Bay, with funding and collaboration
from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Aquatic and
Terrestrial Resources Inventory <http://atriweb.info/indexIE.htm>
(ATRI) and Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative
<http://www.wisconsinbirds.org/>  (WBCI).

The purpose of this program is to provide a rigorous method for
verifying field identification skills of both professional and
non-professional bird observers. A major goal is to help validate the
integrity of bird inventory and monitoring projects in Wisconsin by
improving and documenting birder identification skills.

This web site also provides an educational tool for students and
recreational birders of all skill levels
