Jacob was personable and knowledgeable, and it was obvious he was keeping up with local birding reports to make sure we had the best opportunities to see our target birds. He was also great at making sure everyone saw the birds, pointing out field marks and helping to distinguish between different species (just what you need on a 10 sparrow day!). For those who wanted in- depth information, he was ready, and for those who just wanted to enjoy, he let us experience things at our own level.
