More importantly, he will be informative and entertaining in doing so. In order to get certain species to fly in, it may be necessary for Wezil to play the song or call of that bird with his iPod. This can ensure a good look at a particular bird. Wezil works with groups large or small. He welcomes photographers who may want to spend extra time with each species.
