for Dummies

There are a couple of trees. He should get a few birds in them.

He’ll learn the name of that bird, even if he has to watch it all day!!!

Well, that’s one bird that won’t fly away until it’s been thoroughly examined!

Looks like Parma. All he needs is an accordion and we’d know for sure.

…and is that a “pink footed booby” doing the observing?

Ah another form of napping

Later, he’ll go visit a tree museum.

I don’t see his new hobby taking off.

The word.

that’s pretty lazy

Ever watch The Big Year? Cute movie about 3 “birders” trying to compete with each other. Can’t go too far wrong with Jack Black, Steve Martin and Owen Wilson. :)

Do that on a beach in Great Britain and you are really bird watching…

Did the flamingo come with the book?

So – you really need a book that thick? I mean, how many birds could possibly be in it?
