00:00some people kind of branch just recreational birding and then some people branch into listing
00:08we decided to learn about bird watching by becoming bird watchers birding super competitive a lot of
00:15people don't realize it but it there's so many people out there you know trying to break records
00:19every year you know like i said we've been number one in the aba several times we've been number one
00:24in the lower 48 but number two a couple times too and which kills him i want you to know just
00:31typical experience level of somebody who does a big year is usually way beyond your guys's
00:36level what breed is that to you i mean i did see some black on the chest yeah so that's a potential
00:44i love sleeping in a car like every single day of the year needs to be dedicated to birding going
00:50after targets and building up the list is it is it funny is it a funny story to you is it funny i
01:02mean it's like it's all kind of ridiculous we like to think we have an honor system
01:06when somebody breaks the honor system that's pretty serious it's purely a listing game it's kind of one
01:11of those things that we know it's not a small amount of money this is how to get a guide without paying
01:18for one he knows are you serious haven't showered in 10 years haven't showered in 10 days basically
01:28nobody gets sick you know actually like that's insanely rare to actually get somebody to get
01:32seasick on our trips we haven't had a key west quail dove in several years a cuban peewee in several
01:38years i will go after just about anything in washington that is new for a state list
01:43that one was a little rough
01:49i want to put the watching back in bird watching i got the akutero got him got him got him
01:55this is bird watching i'm not even going to try to be positive right now smoke that thing that's a
02:02dinger the endurance just you got to put one foot in front of the other i am growing tired of it it's
02:08a disease i think this is what birders do you know we have a bit of an emergency here on board
02:13uh we've taken on quite a bit of water i've got like 10 gasses top and 10 gasses bottom clean to
02:19the bone it's cool to be that excited about a bird but i think it was just to get it on their list
02:24the birders aren't that friendly to me nobody's taking this fucking away from me okay this is my
02:30lifer i saw this bird and nobody's taking it away okay i hear it too
02:34i am now officially the youngest birder ever to reach 700 species in the lower pretty well
02:41i guess you could say 722. he's he's approaching your guys's record 20 or more birds that have
02:46been accepted as countable from what they were last year so most of that is not so they're making
02:52it easy now huh every year it gets easier like you're literally just doing a big year
02:58to like be competitive and say like i you know achieved this thing like what is that doing for birds
