I take great pleasure in telling anyone just how cool and beautiful spiders can be. This is especially true for my spider-phobic friends, for whom I have great empathy. I also like to allay the fears of others that have grown up with the belief that spiders are creatures to be feared.
Birders are our best teachers and naturalists. Today’s birders are those that not only look but also document what they observe (the list). Bird watchers, like myself, enjoy seeing birds but are not keen to keep a list.
