You are probably the most logical person I have ever found on the internet. Thank you.

I was reading the dino/bird war on the raptor femme fatales piece, and your comment was well thought out and coherent.

Also, I am an aspiring ornithologist. What can you tell me about that particular profession?

Birds

Hehe, thanks! I was just amazed at people's arguments on that post... it was stunning how some people refuse to think.

As for ornithology, I may be a bit biased, but it is a lot of fun. Being involved from the science aspect (I am finishing up my Masters and plan to start my PhD next year) you can get involved in a huge range of work from behavioral stuff (what I do) to neurology and hormones and genetics. Some people get into it because they love birds and then branch out from there into what exactly they want to do with birds... other people end up under the "ornithology" heading because birds make a good model system for what they want to study (such as people who are interested in the neurological basis of behavior and study bird song learning). Professionally, the majority of the people I've met have been fantastic, particularly at professional conferences, but also people who are professional birders or educators. Another thing that is great is that a huge number of laypeople are involved, people who love bird watching as a hobby, so it is surprisingly easy to get people involved in some projects because people like to go out and watch birds. The downside to all this is that, being that birds are so ubiquitous, a lot of people study them and it ends up that there is a lot of competition in the scientific field, especially now that federal funding has dropped.

I could go on about it, but I'll stop there. If you have any questions, feel free to pop me a note and I will certainly try to answer them!
