Enraged Birders To Retake Oregon Wildlife Refuge In Dawn Offensive
[Burns, OR] The armed militants who have occupied the Oregon wildlife refuge may be encouraged the apparent lack of response by government authorities. But their stand is reportedly doomed anyway, since they picked the worst possible location to make their point, according to a source at the American Birding Association.
“The Malheur sanctuary is home to approximately 320 avian species beloved by birders. BIG mistake.”
The nearby town of Burns has seen a rapid influx of birders who are determined to eject the illegal occupiers. The birders possess a number of advantages when it comes to combat in open terrain, according to those familiar with the hobby.
“They are masters of disguise who know how to blend into the outdoor environment, whereas the enemy, with their pickups, massive guns, and loud obnoxious personalities, tend to stick out like a sore thumb.”
The birders are also exceptionally skilled at spotting the enemy first so they will have the full advantage of surprise, and their uniform of loose fitting garments and comfortable walking shoes means they are quick and light on their feet, much like the Viet Cong during the Vietnam war. They are also equally ruthless when pushed.

that is so important! 
Those militants won't know what hit them. (edited to add ... we thought the same thing, LOL! )
Who? 
...the bit about not calling us bird watchers is absolutely correct. We will hurt you if you do that.
(As an aside - when I was in grad school, I made the mistake of calling myself a birder, and my hobby birding, in Germany. My wife at the time, and my friends, would go on long birding trips. I would go birding in the Schlossgarten before hitting the museum collections during my visit. I birded everywhere. Not knowing that turning the German word for "bird" [Vogel] into a verb [vogelen] gives one a word basically meaning "to fuck." In my defense, I was speaking in English [mein Deutsche ist nicht gut] and the people I spoke with kept a straight face throughout. I didn't learn of my faux pas until the following year, when a friend went to Europe and learned of some Yank who had been "birding [snicker snicker] in ze voods."
Seriously, though - there are more birders out there than militia idiots. And there are lots of duck hunters who rely on the NWR system, and they're armed.
thank you! so good.
I don't even know any but I love them.
is blending in and dressing up like the birders. Throw canisters of crank in the hut and sit back and watch the entertainment of all these kooks paranoid out of their kazoo seeing everything out the windows with binoculars staring at them.
