Signs You’re a Birdaholic
1. You’re out of the closet--you actively seek out others with same malady
2. You take out a second mortgage—not for that new bathroom but to landscape for birds
3. You check your tires, oil, gas—and binoculars before taking off in your car
4. You consider your work commute or run to town as a “field trip”
5. Your “java” comes from your local bird store not Starbuck’s
6. You feel like an investor to your local bird store
7. You’ve created your own “BirdTV” channel from your yard—using today’s technologies
8. At movies or on TV you identify birds—by sound--in the background
9. You know what Audubon means
10. Your spouse becomes a “birding widow” during migration
11. Christmas used to mean spending time with family not looking for birds in sub-zero weather

I just caught myself adding a handful of dried blueberries ($5 for a 3-handful package) into my first attempt at a natural suet-thang to attract woodpeckers. Criminey...I hardly eat THAT well!

Yesterday I brought my 9 year old son birding with me and made sure I had my camera, scope, and field guide but I forgot snacks for my son. He wasn't happy.
