Requirement

9. Do TWO of three: voices at night, eight by sight, or a talk

Required Often forgotten

The badge asks for two, not one. They are unalike: one is seasonal and nocturnal, one is mostly already done if requirement 1 was done properly, and one needs an audience.

Notes and warnings

Warning. This one asks for TWO, not one. 9(a) is at night and depends on the breeding season, so it may not be available when you want it. 9(c) needs a small group and a date. 9(b) is the one you may already be most of the way through, because requirement 1 had you observe four species yourself and requirement 2 gave you the local list.
