Fallout (fall·out): a natural occurrence where migratory birds are forced down by adverse conditions in a way that makes them congregate in large numbers; generally associated with meteorological and geographical conditions or other physical stressors. It is normal to witness birders experiencing euphoria in these situations.
"I always hate to leave the festival. It's really a magical experience for me every time. I became a birder here and each time I come I get more experience and knowledge to help me improve for the next time. The area is absolutely beautiful. I really liked seeing the kids who have benefited from us in some small way - I like the idea that we give a little something to the area. I don't come to get specific birds - the joy is in going out and looking and finding. The absolute best part of the festival is the people: Geoff, Keith, Rachel, Dave and Lynn, all the wonderful guides, and almost all the people who come. I am always amazed at the friends I have made. I am a different person at New River. Birding has enriched my life." - Kelly B.
