Warning, this podcast has a joke that's a little blue. If you listen with kids you may have to explain some metaphors/similes of human anatomy. I blogged earlier that there's an interesting trend this winter of birders taking photos and videos of people ignoring signgs and getting way too close to snowy owls this winter and posting them online. Is this the best way to police ourselves?

Speaking of getting too close too close to snowy owls, NA Birding has an AMAZEBALLS blog post about a peregrine falcon and snowy owl encounter. If you do nothing else today, go to that blog, read it and be wowed by the great photos. One of the photos is begging to be part of the meme Come At Me, Bro.

And since we're showing photos, here's one everyone sent me last week:

Oh and for those who wondered what happened to the Hey Girl I made for American Birding Association president, it was taken down for being to racy so I'll post it here.

And finally, The Birdest doesn't want any of these emails to show up on his birding listserve...because it's too hard to hit a delete key.
