For 364 Days I'm In Hell: Happy Birthday To BB&B!!!


I was channeling how this Red-legged Kittiwake felt about me. Buldir Island, AK, 2009.

Well, well, well. So here we are. Bourbon, Bastards and Birds turns 3 years old today. Who thought that the Great Ornithologist Felonious Jive and I would still be migrating through the internets to a computer near you after all these years? Surely, not I.

Since this is a blogiverssary, lets take a look back at some of Seagull and Felonious' game-changing accomplishments over the years.

....

Well, that was pretty easy. But hopefully we educated or entertained a few people...so thanks for visiting BB&B, the infamous slum of the Birdosphere. The next post will be a Human Birdwatcher Project interview with the notorious Coco...be sure to catch it. After he speaks, birding may never be the same.

Here are a few photos I took since this blog has been started....I even included a "pre-SLR" shot! Yes, those were the dark ages indeed...these aren't meant to be truly representative of what I've done, more like an avian sample platter. Delish.




Massive storm-petrel raft, around 14,000 total. Mostly Ashy and Black Storm-Petrels. Monterey Bay, CA, 2008. Before I had an SLR (how embarrassing).

  2. phew re: crazy spectrum of birds and places. NICE.

    Happy 3rd. Apparently the traditional gift for a 3rd wedding anniversary is leather (represents strength and flexibility). So, if you are wedded to your blog, you can take yourself shopping for something appropriate. Glad you & yours are here to entertain and subtly educate us.

  3. Happy birthday, bb&b! Nice job, making us all ridiculously amazed and jello. Pre-SLR photos are so depressing, at least mine are. Anyway, congrats on 3 years. Champagne for everyone.
