A Fancy Flock of Birding Memes for Every Level of Birdwatcher

I consider myself a novice birder. Due to my «gainful» employment, I don’t have the leisure time to indulge in the wholesome activity, so I play Wingspan to try to ease the agony of deprivation. Last night, the game’s tranquil soundtrack helped me drift off to sleep. There’s something about the sound of sweetly chirping birds and …

Birdwatching Memes That Don’t Require Binoculars

The birdwatching community is a unique one. In my (limited) experience, birders tend to take care of the habitats they lurk to catch a glimpse of a rare bird or even just a cute one.

Relatable Birding Memes for Amateurs and Experts Alike

I identify as an amateur birder. I don’t get the time to indulge thanks to my «gainful» employment, so I try to assuage the pain by playing Wingspan. Last night I fell asleep to the lull of the Wingspan soundtrack. Birds chirping, soothing harp sounds tinkling. Playing the game (which was definitely designed for birders) …
