'Mexican Standoff'
But... I was not 'bird watching'!
Do you see the difference?
It's all in the syntax - you see watching birds out of the window, just sitting. Admiring. Being transfixed and amazed, is not the same as Bird Watching! It really isn't - I mean. Bird Watching, or ornothology, along with train spotting, stamp collecting and other such hobbies hold a certain social stigma. A sort of je ne sais quoi... Uncoolness!!! I mean - I'm cool. Aren't I? I drink Mojitos. I watch The Wire!
The fact remains - I was merely 'looking' at the birds outside my bedroom window. Not watching like some Peeping Tom. It was on a more sociological level; like observing an experiment - watching how their social circles worked, and interacted with those of the same, and/or different species. The fact doesn't remain that is was most inspiring, and deeply relaxing. No. Forget that I even took my rocking chair from the living room to place it infront of the window, and started my crochet...
I managed to count 30+ different sparrows, 2 blue Jays, a woodpecker and one male Wag Tail...
But I did have 'The Knife' playing on the stereo...
I am cool. Aren't I?
I mean - I watch birds!
But it's not 'bird watching'
