if phan are birdwatching and bought binocs maybe i can start converting phannies to my old man hobby en masse. ASK ME ABOUT BIRDWATCHING
#bluebirdlester.txt#this is so serious to me#its like if pokemon was real! and conservationist!#download merlin + ebird right now#rent binoculars from your local library and go to a park in the evening. or the morning.#basically whenever its not pounding midday heat#google bird walk + your city or county#or (region) audobon society. or bird club. or (park) bird walk#go there. meet the woke old people.#im serious they have invaluable ecological knowledge about your hometown down to the park level#fascinating local histories#and they want to tell you!!!!#in my experience they dont give a FUCK how obviously queer you are they just dont want that knowledge to die with them!#you can get beautiful illustrated guides to birds in any used book store#read up! get curious!#it is SUCH a superpower to hear birdsong and know exactly what bird made it#and sometimes even WHY it said that. like holy shit#birding by ear is a more advanced skill but its such a fun goal to work to#im terrible at it. but i know my basics!#its just fun. i want you to have fun.
