Ya know, I didn’t pay much attention to birds until I bought this damnable farm. At which point, as part of the environmental survey, I hired an ornithology grad student to take me around with binocs and an MP3 player (it was the olden days) loaded with bird calls. The idea was to determine whether there were any endangered species on site. Well, there were. And also, to my amazement, an unexpected plethora of other bonkers species. Cuckoos! Indigo buntings! Became an instant backyard birder. Thanks, grad student whose name I have long forgotten! #birds
