1. I used to joke that a normal person says, “Look at that big, white bird!”
2. A casual bird watcher says, “Look at that seagull!”
3. A birder says, “Look at that Herring Gull!”
4. A dedicated birder says, “Look at that young Herring Gull!”
5. A birding fanatic says, “Look at that first winter Herring Gull!”
And then there are bird photographers!
A fanatic bird photographer might say, “Look at my photo of a first winter Herring Gull!”

An EXTREME bird photographer might travel, or even move to another country, ply jungles and swamps to photograph rare birds, ignoring weather, snakes, and extreme conditions
