Bird people are my people

Stand beside a road with a camera in hand aiming at the great blue heron rookery across the way and someone is bound to stop and chat, and if that someone is a camouflage-wearing dude in a pickup truck full of fishing gear, he's likely to bear news about the location of bald eagles and buffleheads, and if you're having a lively chat about beautiful birds while herons flap overhead carrying nesting materials to a nearby nest, then you'll know you've found your people.
