I’m not terribly good at birds.
Today I went on a birdwalk with other naturalists, and it was a lot of fun (plus being good exercise) because I was learning things the whole time. One of the things I already knew: I’m pants at identifying birds, especially when I can’t see them. Birdsong remains a pretty mystery.

Several years ago, I read Boy’s Life Magazine (associated with US Boy Scouts) and a cartoon in it.
It showed a bunch of Boy Scouts flipping through their bird-watching books.
In a tree in front of them was a strange looking bird that was commenting to another bird about the boys always being confused when they (the boys) show up.
Of course, the “joke” was that the strange-looking bird was apparently a bird not native to North America. 😀
Just think of them as extremely large bugs. (grin)
And there are fewer birds to learn than bugs!
