*The Birderâs Prayer*
Our Grail bird, which art out there somewhere, scientific and common be thy
names.
Your call notes recognized, your field marks noted, in the field, as it is
in the Guide.
Give us this day our daily list. And forgive us our misidentifications, as
we forgive those who saw You here just before we arrived.
Lead us not into twitching, but deliver us from merges.
For thine are the family, and the genus, and the species, now and until the
next taxonomy update.
Amen.
