I knew there were some birders on here. The truth is, I can identify most of the birds I see and know a fair bit about them. However, you will never see me with a pair of binoculars or a camera lens that costs more than my truck. Birds of prey are awesome predators and I respect them for that. Funny you mention it pooping on me cause something huge pooped on my windshield. I left it cause it blends in with the rest of my crappy truck.
