Greetings!
I’ve published this post as a page, as well, but I wanted it in both places.
It’s quite silly that I’m nervous to publish this, but I wanted it out there as a way to truly commit to the challenge.
So here’s goes:
I’m trying to see all of the birds listed in the song Birding by the Swet Shop Boys (if you haven’t heard it, I’d highly recommend giving it a listen).
There. It’s out there.
I’ve been a fan of SSB for several years now, and I was in a shopping mall when I got a notification they’d released a new EP. I 100% seriously gave a little scream when I saw the word “Birding” as one of the titles.
I downloaded that EP so fast, iTunes didn’t know what hit it.
I’ve been working at this challenge for about a year now, but I’m ready to be held accountable for it.
Below is the complete list of birds I need to see (in order of the song).
So far, I have 25/43. Only 18 to go! I’ll update the official challenge page as I see new species.
