I really enjoyed the introduction to the idea of taking field notes. The fish story was actually really interesting. It has a clear cut message and is very similar to many other stories. Essentially the point being that, by doing something seemingly pointless and a waste of time, like observing a fish, you can learn a lot more then you ever expected to learn. This was actually close to the basic principle to my high school experience. Teachers stressed doing new things that we weren't usually willing to give a chance. In my view, being good at a lot of things is a lot more valuable then being great at just one thing.
Also in the second chapter, I thought that it was valuable to look over some examples of field notes. Personally I plan on modeling my own notes after this general format.
