Bird Watching with The New York Times: A Satirical Guide to Feigning Expertise
Welcome fellow amateurs! It’s time for you to put on your safari hat, grab a pair of binoculars and hit the great outdoors. Why? Because apparently, we need to help save birds from our own environmental destruction. So let’s get right into it, shall we?
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology needs YOU!
Yes folks, you read that right – this isn’t just any bird watching activity; this is science! We’re partnering up with Cornell Lab of Ornithology to gather data about birds, because apparently half of all bird species in the world are at risk due to climate change and other human activities.
We know what you’re thinking… “What could I possibly do as an ordinary citizen?” Well fear not my feathered friends- All you need are observation skills, but if those don’t work out – Don’t worry! They have apps for that.
The Project Details

- – eBird (for advanced Birders)
- – Merlin (for beginners) [our spy team confirms no relationship with King Arthur’s sidekick].
A Few Simple Steps To Image Over-Inflated Intellectuality About Birds through observation techniques:
- The Observation:Open your peepers and observe the birds around you.
- The Verification:Download one of the apps (above) or visit the Cornell website to learn more about what kind of bird it is.
- The Deduction: Your observation must be recorded, which can include anything from location/time details to weather conditions.
“The humidity index was at an estimated rate of…Wait, am I sweating yet?”
- Time To Show Off:If you’re feeling fancy Submit Observations by using eBird Website starting today until September.
We know this all sounds complicated but hey! It’s for a Great Cause…Right? Back to Business:
Tips for Implementation
To help those citizens with no prior experience out there we have some tips:
- -Relax! Remember observing birds should be enjoyable not stressful.
Afterall they are called Birds Not Helicopters something will fly again

We gotta admit though; The Cornell team did come up with genius marketing strategy here!

- No! Sure it’ll help organize and collect data but what’s more important is getting people involved (Plus We Are Trying to Boost Their Download Rates) So What better than Some Spiced Up Social Media Attention To Take Over Your Feelings Of Inadequacy? Right??
- If you’re actually struggling identifying numerous species none of which seem like a robin; take photos and submit them into a group dedicated only for birds identifications that clearly has way too much time on their hands….you know what they say!\“Birds Of A Feather, Waste Time Together”
