razz posted:I sprained my ankle birding yesterday. The nerdiest injury. In my defense it was a Summer Tanager. Oh my god this was sort of what happened to my friend as well, we were chasing a Lesser Sulphur Cookatoo that was flying high up and he slipped and scraped the gently caress out of his knee. Birding is really goddamn fun, your interpretations change from "small brown bird" and "large black bird with weird loving tail" to example, an Olive-backed Sunbird and Lesser Racket-tailed Drongo. It's always best to see interactions between birds or with other animals, when I saw a kingfisher shriek at a mynah and it loving freaked and flew away, or seeing a Lesser Sulphur Crested Cockatoo try to scare a squirrel away. I need to work on remembering common bird calls though, I can recognize things like bulbul calls and very notable things like a kingfisher's call or the really sweet whistle that Hill Mynahs made, but recently on a walk all the calls basically blurred together and I couldn't tell them apart. (Mostly because we have a lot of Javan Mynas here and good god they are really good at making a bizarre range of sounds) Birds are awesome.  I just got into college (life sciences, environmental science) and I'm hoping there will be an upper level class focusing on birds just like how there's one for marine biology.
