Waste of time and carbon emissions. As a community concerned with the natural world, birding needs to do much better than celebrate such nonsense as “extreme” birding.

It is well with anybody’s time. Not only is it hilarious, the photography is spectacular.

This won’t be a popular take: a lot of these “extreme birders” are burning a lot of fossil fuels just to get a tick that boosts their reputation and not much else. That person going for youngest birder with X no. of birds pretty much says the same. #lowcarbonbirding
