Birdwatching

Another new hobby of mine is birdwatching, or
"Birding", which is the term preferred by those
of us who engage in this thrilling pasttime.
Nothing compares to lurking in the damp bushes
armed with binoculars, camera, Peterson's Field Guide,
and some beef jerky and beers. Body-checking the
retired guy who's spot you've just stolen...
You never know what never-before-seen species will reveal
itself and allow you to make a checkmark (Pencil only, please!)
in your birding logbook.
I'm getting hard just thinking about it!
Well, here's my crowning glory. The bird photo that's
going to make me famous.
Sheer perfection.

Beat That, Gramps!!
