Choosing trails is so funny wow I can't wait to do the 'mount sorrow trail' I can't wait to do a fun day walk up 'mount difficult' wow I hope I see a cool creature up 'mount disappointment'

When you see a weird bird in a weird location so you're sure it's something interesting but you don't have the birder's camera so you just have to draw an illustration and send it to the birding discord:

We need spiders gluepot...

Like of course there's curse of birders or whatever but also they definitely seem to have everything together in a way that other amateur naturalists don't, like the nicest campground and the reserve with the best trail information I've been to in the past few years was a conservation area set up by a birding organization, so often I'm looking up conservation parks to decide where to go spidering and all the information is on birding websites! They have business cards at information boards in towns near national parks with links to birding social media groups! They have well... more consistently agreed upon protocols and the whole species lists for locations thing! I'm not even vaguely a birder just in wildlife discord groups that have some and every time there's a vaguely rare bird in the region I find out in like 4 hours from the Birders Network or whatever... spider people we need to do this...
