Awesome Rohan!!! Still laughing about it.....Must have gone through all these phases many a times ....next time I will be more cautious before opening my mouth during the nature trails...:-)
Every frame is a 'Class Apart', made with such dexterity. Its so touching...i believe most of us have passed thru this, directly-or-indirectly. Would like to have this compilation in print/poster form. Please reply back.
thanks everyone for the overwhelming response! glad that birders could relate with it :) those who want to order the prints, kindly send me your email id's on rohanchakcartoonist@gmail.com . i will get back to you with the details asap.
Wow ! Awesome one to introspect . Though more of a bird photographer ...TYPE 7 , I have seen the other types too . I can now categorize them similarly in my contact list ;)
Brilliant...i bet you are the premier nature-related cartoonist in the country now. Keep it going. I like the "Rocket-tailed" the most, heard that one last week!
Hahahaha I know where the Racket-tailed Drango comes from! Good work Rohan..... If I ever get into serious birding or go out with serious birders, I resort to the type 10. Its fun to harrow the type 3,4 and 8 types of birders by being a type 10.
Shardul, I totally agree with the 'harrowing type 3,4' part :D thanks a lot. glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Jeyoou and Tharangini. A very happy new year to you too :)
hahhaha...you will have to invent a type 12 too, Rohan! all i do is listen, nod, look, say 'wow', listen and then tend to forget the names after i am home! :( :P happy 2012 to you! look forward to more this year :)
hi! loved your cartoons.. you are one of those few people i have come across who takes their two completely different and unrelated interests and make something really special out of it.. u must be really passionate and witty.. keep them coming!!
I'm not a birder, but I'm around birders a lot, and you've nailed it. You may have missed a few typologies:
"The Contra": While the entire group is looking at an amazing species in one direction, they will be looking carefully into a tree, either hoping to spot something totally contra, or claiming later to have actually done so. (And on some rare occasions, actually doing so!)
"The lens gazer": This is the birder who never actually spots the bird with their naked eye. They move from binoculars to camera with such focus (pun intended) that they manage to spot, photograph and ID the bird from the picture, but all without actually seeing unframed by a lens.
"The skeptic": They are always the last to believe that there was actually a bird to see, and then when they have no choice but to admit it, they argue about which one it is.
This one makes me keep coming to ur blog too often....might have been passed through all these phases.....but can't stop laughing at it....always...keep them coming....
This is awesome! I have been through most of those phases!

ReplyDeleteThank you Silvia. This was a parody on the birdwatchers you usually see in India. I don't know if people from other countries can relate to this..
