Birding and Politics

There’s no shortage of political coverage on the news lately, and surprisingly enough, birding and birdwatching have popped up multiple times on the presidential campaign trail recently.

The first major revelation was that one of the two main candidates for president, Senator John McCain, is an avid birdwatcher. Secondly, at the democratic national convention, an odd political group called “stop bird porn” came to attention, a group that claims that many bird watchers are only in the field to get perverse pleasure from watching birds mating.
