The story about the avid birdwatchers who call to each other has been part of contemporary lore at least since the 1950s. Lest one think the story's intent is to slam birdwatchers (who are sometimes perceived as nerdy and thus as valid targets for ribbing), it should be pointed out the tale has been told about other critters. Sightings: We're told this legend about one birdwatcher calling to another plays out in the 1969 Don Knotts film, The Love God?
