I emailed that I thought the show was a bad idea and that I would not watch or support it.

Why indulge this inane exercise and why is it on this cite? Back to birds at Bryant Park 8:30 to 8:50 a.m. this morning: had one of the woodcocks near maintenance shed south side (40th street), also a hermit thrush and on the lawn a palm warbler (FOS).

I hope some of you will join me in responding to this request in a similar fashion.

I'm currently casting a new reality TV show featuring birders. We are looking for passionate, birders that love to seek out and find unusual birds. If you think a life without birding is not worth living... we want you. If you're a bit eccentric, quirky, nerdy, compulsive and have an over-the-top personality, we want you. We're looking for a group of people that compete against other birders to be the best birder in the country! The more the bizarre the better. The less clean-cut, the better. We want unusual characters that are birding geniuses! If you think you fit the bill (pun intended) Please send us a brief description of your unusual personality and obsession with birding and a photo or a link to a 2 minute video telling us about yourself. We want crazy birders!!! Send an email to i...@luckydogfilms.com Thanks! Seth Casting Director Lucky Dog Films http://www.luckydogfilms.com/ You must be a subscriber to post to GABO-L.
