Still use it
I was originally taught to use the bird dog, back in the early 1980s. During a school game, I only use it in a crowd. None of the young refs ever seem to use it.
In youth or recreation league games, the "uniforms" often only have numbers on the back. I find I bird dog a lot then, and often, my partner will shout out the number to me, so I don't have to do a little dance with the player to find his number.
