    My grandfather used to say if you don’t learn something new each day you’ll be dead by tomorrow.

      Did you know a cat’s penis is sharply barbed along it’s shaft? I know for a fact the females were not consulted about that.

    My bro killed a coyote the other day and left the carcass near our house. Now we have condors. They’re so fuckin cool.

      Oh I have always wanted to see condors! Like from when I was about 5. There were only about 60 then. Then they rounded up all 22 of the last California Condors in 1987… Now there’s over 500 and you get to see them! No lead in your brother’s ammo, I hope and expect.

    This is so fucking relevant to me right now, just yesterday I heard a woodpecker on my walk and I made it my mission to spot it in that giant tree. Then in my later walk I saw a red cardinal. Later I was talking about how it’s kinda cheating when people pick ostrich, peacock, penguin etc as their favorite birds, and it slowly dawned on me that I’m becoming a bird guy.

      I like a lot of birds, but let’s be honest; the peacock really is the most beautiful bird, it’s not even a close competition.

      Cardinals are great, that are really pretty birds that are common enough that you can probably spot one daily in most parts of the US is you take a walk.

      A coupl years back I bought binoculars with the sole (soul?) purpose of watching birds. Seven years ago I didn’t give a shit.

        You were right the first time. Sole means only; soul is a religious concept; sole means the bottom of your shoe: sole is a fish

            Just keep in mind that the one with U is the one that’s YOU.

            Concepts like “soul music” work fine with this, because they are about an untameable essence of the self.

            But if I’ve forgotten an exception, do please point it out, dear lemmings.

      Me too. I live in an area now with hawks, ravens, and I can hear a Great Horned Owl at night, but never been able to spot it. These all make me inordinately excited.

    I really got into it this year (early 30’s) and I am straight kicking my younger self, when I knew someone with 5 pet birds and I didn’t care!

    I wanted to figure out the call of a bird, then I downloaded Merlin, and now I bought a 400mm lens to get sick photos of birds. What the hell happened

    It’s true. As a young boy I wanted to see tits so bad but nowadays all I need is just look out the window
