Note – if you’re staffing the booth you can record your time as Gulf Coast Bird Obs – Outreach, if you’re talking to visitors about birds/birding. If you’re staffing the booth and ONLY selling or directing visitors this does not count as GCMN hours. If you’re helping to observe species that can be recorded as Gulf Coast Bird Obs – Data Collection.
