I had no idea anyone listed birds or competed to list birds! I agree that this is a fun book to read whether you are a birder or not just because of the quirkiness of it all. <br /><br />As for the listing thing, I agree with you also. Though I am not a competitive lister, per se, I have become obsessive about listing birds for my own pleasure and for helping eBird. Listing helped get me outside my own yard and into the wild areas around me. It also got me to volunteer for the Tucson Audubon IBA survey and quickly became part of my blog. Thank you for this excellent post!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.com
