Just a few days ago my mother-in-law was asking me, "now that you are retired, do you think you will do bird photography?" and while I said something polite in response, my mind was thinking "I can't decide if birding or watching golf is more boring".
Anyway, then a barred owl showed up just outside the window. We could clearly hear it calling "to-wit-to-woo" before we saw it.
Bird photography is definitely better than watching golf.
