WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BIRD PROBABLY!

The Thing with Feathers podcast, hosted by Courtney Ellis, has lots of great episodes. Check out the interview with the Inept Birder (twitter) who prompted the#WorstBirdPic trend almost a decade ago and is still chugging along. @TheIneptBirder is here with vaguely reassuring words about your terrible and/or blurry picture of a bird or a bird butt!
The best internet trend of 2015 so far has arrived - and it's a series of blurry photos and half-photos of what looks like, or could possibly be (maybe), some type of bird.
In a valiant rejection of the strict norms of birding, one nearsighted Twitter user - appropriately named @TheIneptBirder - tweeted a crappy photo of a bird he saw. An actually-good birder, @AmOrnithologist, then responded using a hashtag that will go down in the annals of birding history #WorstBirdPic

Honestly, I kind of like the butt pictures, because you can sort of see how the bird is put together, which is sometimes hard with all those feathers.

It’s sort of like when your cat gets wet, and it’s like “I see; you are made of sticks!”
