The Mediocre Bird Watcher

I have some friends who recently got really into bird watching. It starts with a bird book, then the telephoto lens, all the way to camouflage enclosure. I dig it and love to see birds around when I'm out and about, especially with my spurious knowledge of random bird facts. However I don't have quite the same enthusiasm to actively go bird watching (yet at least). So with a phone camera and a glass half-empty of motivation, here is the world's most mediocre bird watcher.
