In this world, there are tortoises and there are hares. Birding is hardly a hare's game unless you're racking up a Big Day. Birds are generally as put off by the combination of reckless speed and arrogant sloth as old Aesop was. No, if you want to enjoy bird watching to the fullest, take the Tortoise Trail. This path has never been more rewarding than today, as one of my favorite bird photographers, Pam Shack, delivers a magnificent and melodious I and the Bird #34.
Regardless of the velocity at which your birding takes place, I and the Bird should be just your speed. Be sure to share your best wild bird blog writing with a wider audience in the next edition of IATB scheduled for October 26. Our next host will be Dan Rhoads of Migrations, so be sure to get your submissions to Dan (daniel-dot-rhoads AT gmail-dot-com) or Mike (mike AT 10000birds-dot-com) by Tuesday the 24th of October.
