Birding Humor or the Lack Thereof

I subscribe to a number of bird lists here in the US and many of them hold to the idea that the levity police will surely come and put a bright yellow sticker on their monitors if humor is said or implied.

My request is therefore, if it is necessary, reduce the levity to a dull roar but please don't shut it off.

Without it birding becomes quite sterile.  Off course, some birders like it that way, very effecient but dull.  Even a mispelling now and then is better than subject, verb and a few nouns (be careful, not too many).

I enjoy very much travelling, vicariously, down and up and, forth and back across your most beautiful land with the reports and the bird chatter.  



Good Birding
