LISTERS: A Glimpse Into Extreme Birdwatching

If you haven't watched Listers, I highly recommend blocking off 2 hours for this beauty. I am not a bird watcher but this definitely made me more interested in watching birds! And also watching bird-watchers, a hilarious bunch. This is mostly a human story about two brothers--complete amateur birders--on a quest to see as many birds as they can in one year while living out of a minivan.

“Funny, informative, breathtaking doc about the world of competitive birding. And they uploaded it to YouTube for FREE!”

“good god. guys - I saw the trailer for this on reels. Thought the trailer looked funny, homemade, and like something I would do. For context: this guy gets high one evening and looks at a coffee book that entails all of the birds in North America. He wonders how cool it must be to know all of them. He decides to ensue his next year getting into birdwatching just for shits and giggles; and figures”
