Today, I changed the background of our blog. It now has birds, and here's why. If you didn't already know this, my husband loves birds, and he now refers to himself as a birder. (I didn't see this one coming.) If you are unfamiliar with this term, let me enlighten you.
A birder is someone who REALLY enjoys watching birds. He could spend hours studying the bird that is sitting on top of a telephone pole, and he will. A birder will want to invest a bird feeder and he will insist on purchasing a bird bath. Should a robin land on the bird feeder in the backyard, he's likely to be late for work. A birder prefers not to talk when he is watching birds, so do not attempt to chat with him. Besides, you might startle the fowl. A truly committed birder will carry binoculars and a reference book filled with the birds of the region. When birding, he will diligently identify each bird that he see and place a check mark next to the birds his spotted in his reference book. Today I learned that the quickest way to offend a birder is to tell him that you see an eagle when it's really a hawk. Oops!
Ladies, should your husband decide to become a birder, be supportive. Birding is one of the cheapest hobbies around, and who knows, maybe his hobby will take you to exotic places. :)
I love you honey!
