Seanbirds Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 You might be a birder if you tramp through three miles of soaking-wet sedge, fill your shoes and socks up with water, get burrs and stickers all over your pants and die of pneumonia three days later just to finally photograph a Nelson's Sparrow. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aveschapinas Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Your friend sends pictures of the cute birdies in her garden and you send back all of the common and Latin names, and ask for better shots of the ones that are too blurry to ID. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 You might be a birder if you almost miss school because you went out before school to look for a Wood Warbler but you didn’t get up early enough, and because you spent an extra 30 minutes trying to help your friend to get a photo of it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 You might be a birder if your car is a mass of fast-food breakfast wrappers, empty caffeinated beverage containers, spare hats and jackets, scribbled sightings lists, and a couple of field guides, but your optics are immaculate. 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aveschapinas Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) My friend might be a birder. He just messaged me to say he's stuck on an intercity road because the routes are blocked by protesters. He pulled over and got out to to look for birds.
