If you like science and comic strips you definitely want to read xkcd. The strip up today is apropos for 10,000 Birds, though some might take exception to the appellation applied to ornithologists. If you are sensitive to mildly bad language don’t click the link.

as a herper/birder I’m going through conflicting emotions!
I always read xkcd. Its very funny
Well, I certainly shall take this up to the large office n my department that hosts numerous herpetologists and ornithologists. Should make for an interesting morning coffee.
Another case of how the paraphyletic inferiority complex manifests in angry outbursts against the phylogenetically correct crowd. Herpers and birders unite! Show some love to the root node.
