These kind of people have totally missed the point of bird watching.  They've made it into an ego-driven pissing contest.  These clowns ruin bird watching.  They are just trust fund rich kids with too much time on their hands. It costs a lot of money to travel to the far ends of the earth to bird watch, so only the rich can afford to do it.  Therefore, it is an accomplishment of money, NOT talent.  It's just a bunch of Napoleon complexes running around saying "look at me! look at me!."  # Narcissism.
