Such Larks, Pip!: Pip goes to the bog!

Pip goes to the bog!

Pip went to the bog with Erik Bruhnke and me for a day of birding and testing hearing aids for birding--Pip didn't actually wear a hearing aid or anything, but she helped by being very quiet when I was testing. She had a great time, and even added one lifer! She's now up to 5,100 miles in the car and 194 species on her life list.
