FYI ... This is a cross-post from Birdchat. I'm not sure I think it's 
as funny or as insightful as the original poster (below) thought it 
was, but here ya go ...

>funny. It has almost 15000 views in only 3 days. I managed to get an
>interview with Jason here
>http://birdingblogs.com/2012/Gunnar/shit-birders-say and you can also watch
>the video there. And there is a small competition there as well. Can you
>guess how many views the clip will have by May 3?

>Now what strikes me is that it would be fantastic if this short video could
>reach say a million viewers. Why? It would have an tremendous impact
>bridging to non-birders. The combination of this view of birders and the
>one that is showing on the film the Big Year makes a fuller picture what
>birding is all about. The struggles with identification and problems of
>pointing out a bird to someone.
>
>I ask you please to send/share the video or my blogpost to all birders you
>know or anyone you know who has seen The Big Year movie.

>Have a laugh...maybe you even recognize yourself.
