Interesting but disappointing in that it contained the usual fond chuckle about those kooky but lovable birders. You can bet the reporter wouldn't take that tone if writing about someone on a quest to, say, climb a certain number of major mountain peaks in one year. Note also the astounding assertion that listing birds is "a pastime that traces its origin to 1829 and painter John James Audubon"!
