Birding Is My Favorite Video Game

A fun collection of short cartoons about nature (not just birds!) collected from the cartoonist’s website, Bird and Moon. Most of them are funny, riffing on oddities of various animals and plants, or on misconceptions people often have, but there are a few serious ones in there about climate change. Some of the longer ones are easier to read online because they’ve been shrunk down to fit on the small page size.

Some of my favorites from this collection include:

• Red-Tail Blues - I’ve seen crows trying to hassle a less-than-impressed hawk on several occasions!
• Attenborough - Ironically, I read this one in David Attenborough’s voice.
• When I Grow Up - It’s good to have goals.
• Versus - Monarch vs Milkweed!
• Northern Pygmy Owl
