MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit You know you're a birder if: 1. It is not unusual for you to have birdseed in your pockets. 2. You can say "Yellow-bellied Sap Sucker" with a straight face. 3. The wallpaper on your computer is bird related. 4. The wall paper in your house is bird related. 5. Your arch nemesis is that crazy cat lady down the street. 6. You have ever been referred to as that crazy bird woman/man down the street. 7. You have nearly caused an auto accident by stepping on the break on a busy street to get a better look a bird. 8. Someone yells DUCK! and you look up and shout "Where"? 9. The Rare Bird Hot Line is #1 on your speed dialer. 10. You keep a life list of birds seen and identified in your dreams. 11. Your parents have all but disowned you because you will drive two hours to see a rare bird rather than drive 30 minutes to see them. 12. You raise mealworms just to feed birds. 13. You get up earlier on weekends to go birding than you do during the week to go to work. I hope this is okay to post. I wanted to share the mirth on a dreary day.
