Attending an event gives you an opportunity to meet new friends, enjoy being outside (if it is an outside event), or just sharing good conversations with others. No worries if you are not adept at identifying birds, there is always someone near by to assist. At our meetings we even present a bird-of-the month with photos and information on how to identify them.
