Me too! I pay a lot of attention to the birds, always have. Once on my way home, I could NOT identify this flock of constant squawkers. Bugged the heck out of me for a week - but one day I saw a guy with a telescope pointed at them. He told me in a very annoyed tone of voice that they were Caspian Terns. Yeay!

And then there was this other time were I heard a crow squawking his head off, so of course I had to see what he was up too. He dive bombs this poor girl, she looks around confused, and sees me laughing at her. This girl probably thought I threw something at her, and now has a really low opinion of cyclists.
