As a park ranger and naturalist I pay close attention to techniques for helping people connect with the wonders of nature and Noah is fun to watch. I've known Noah Kuck since he started birding and eventually leading trips with the Detroit Lakes Festival of Birds. He is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. It's fun to hang out with someone so passionate about helping you see and learn about birds.

I'm a birder in MN and a co-chair of the annualDetroit Lakes Festival of Birds. Noah Kuck started as one of our fieldtrip leaders (4 to a tour) as a young teenager! He located birds by sound and sight as well as explaining what was seen. Noah is friendly and willing to help birders of all levels. I welcome him back as a field trip leader as soon as he could get here!
