Birb watching
Many years ago, I was looking at some ducks at a near by lake and some kind person came and started telling us all sorts of neat bird facts about them. Since then, I like knowing about birds, but I've never bothered to go out specifically to watch them. I do, however, try to always bring treats for the numerous corvids in my neighborhood and will one day befriend them!
i love watching birds but wouldn't call it "bird watching." we've been putting feed out on a tray and enjoying the bird dynamics on our porch. the doves are my favorite but the stellar's jay is very beautiful. no "classic" american crows have come by which is weird since i can hear them but there have been some blue jays.
there are red shouldered hawks living around us and i see/hear them daily....i keep wondering if they are gonna buzz our porch and grab one of the herbivorous birds pecking at our feed.

I live by a lil lake and we get some dope birds around it. My favorite is the black-crowned night heron, they're weird lil guys that look like they don't have a neck most of the time but every so often they'll stick their heads out and remind you they're herons. Also we have loads of crows, and every evening at sunset they all gather up in big groups and fill up the trees and rooftops and have a big meeting.
i love those dudes so much! i met one in dt oakland that is fed every day by an egyptian restaurant. it hangs out on a car roof waiting for its dinner.

Recent Mexican Vacation Birb Highlights: Part 1
i was in mexico last week for a beach vacation. here are some birbs i saw
GREAT-TAILED GRACKLE: they were everywhere! keenly intelligent black birds with lots of different sounds. sleek and shiny with quizzical yellow eyes. comically long tails. apparently they used to be classified as corvids, but now they have their own crackles-exclusive class. very very cool blackbird. one time i was in the pool and i came around the corner and saw one just eating a raw sugar packet. it puffed up it's whole body, torso and throat, and screamed like "DON'T TOUCH MAH SUGAR!!" and i was like, that birb is high on cocaine, and i swam away
CHACHALACA: a sort of tree chicken or tiny turkey. extremely noisy. everyday i woke up thinking somebody was dragging one of those large home depot carts through a parking lot outside my door, but it was missing a wheel and the remaining wheels were all rusted shut
