    This is so fucking relevant to me right now, just yesterday I heard a woodpecker on my walk and I made it my mission to spot it in that giant tree. Then in my later walk I saw a red cardinal. Later I was talking about how it’s kinda cheating when people pick ostrich, peacock, penguin etc as their favorite birds, and it slowly dawned on me that I’m becoming a bird guy.

      A coupl years back I bought binoculars with the sole (soul?) purpose of watching birds. Seven years ago I didn’t give a shit.

        You were right the first time. Sole means only; soul is a religious concept; sole means the bottom of your shoe: sole is a fish

            Just keep in mind that the one with U is the one that’s YOU.

            Concepts like “soul music” work fine with this, because they are about an untameable essence of the self.

            But if I’ve forgotten an exception, do please point it out, dear lemmings.

      I like a lot of birds, but let’s be honest; the peacock really is the most beautiful bird, it’s not even a close competition.

        That was my pick too and then my girlfriend penguin. In my opinion those were boring picks, so I added the stipulation of size.

      Me too. I live in an area now with hawks, ravens, and I can hear a Great Horned Owl at night, but never been able to spot it. These all make me inordinately excited.

      Cardinals are great, that are really pretty birds that are common enough that you can probably spot one daily in most parts of the US is you take a walk.
