Sometimes birders get spread out at a particular site, or they move about in car caravans. Or they split a large field trip into two groups. All of these situations present a terrific opportunity to use walkie-talkies to stay in touch. If you’re interested, get a Family Radio System unit that supports the privacy codes (beware – the cheaper versions don’t support the codes). In the Chicago area, we use Channel 11, privacy code 22.
