Name: Birder

Debut: Shovel Knight

Have you hearder of Birder? I like it more than murder! Birder is quite a fascinating creature, and makes quite an impression from its first minor appearance alone! Let’s look at it!

In the first three campaigns, Birders are nearly exclusive to the Lost City area, which takes place deep underground where lava and slime flow. Why are they there? I don’t know, but from the first time you see it, it is clear this is not just any enemy! They are rapidly flashing like they’re pulsing with energy, they are constantly bounding around the room, and though they may be small, they have more health than most standard enemies!

One thing I love about Birder’s design, and which I hope was intentional, is that its shape really brings to mind a badminton birdie. It’s a great shape. A great object! More sports should use weird little doodads instead of basic balls!

Birder’s official art, for whatever reason, looks like this. This does not really look like Birder... but I don’t mind! I love it! It is so funny! It looks like someone had a napkin with a Birder-like pattern on it, thought “this reminds me of Birder”, folded it into a Birder shape, and drew eyes on it. It is so delightful!

Though they may look like beings of pure energy, Birders are no doubt Animals, and perfect Animals at that. As we can see with the adorably named Ambirder, some live Birders have been preserved in slime, suggesting they have not needed to change much at all in a very long time! I guess it makes sense for a species dwelling within the depths of the earth, undisturbed for centuries...

...except, that is not actually the case! Birders flock in the mountainous Birder Bluffs, which may be their breeding grounds, considering this is where we see their eggs. And look at those eggs! Spherical and translucent! These are truly no ordinary birds, though no less biological! I guess Birders are perfectly adapted not just to the bowels (heehee!) of the earth, but also to the tops of mountains... they are SO good at surviving! Birders deserve a lot of respect, and it is clear some people respected them a great deal in the past, enough to carve out their image on the Birder Blocks seen in the bottom portion of the image.

Also, behold Birder Bearer! Birders who bear platforms... who are those for? Have these Birders survived, with platforms, since the previous civilization inhabited these bluffs? Maybe they use the platforms themselves, perhaps to bring eggs or hatchlings back to the underground? This may be the first documented case of Birder tool use...!

It is clear the developers love Birder a whole lot, making it not only one of the “main” enemies of the game, but also actually story-important! There will be spoilers for Shovel Knight: King of Cards under the cut, but if you have played it or don’t mind spoilers, please join me in discussing my favorite of all Birder-related things!

This is KING BIRDER! The king of the Birders! You can tell by his name, and his demeanor, and his entire body that he has. King Birder is Evil, he is Wicked, he is an all around Bad Guy. But wait! I said this was my favorite Birder-related thing! What is the catch?

It was all a ruse! King Birder is no king at all, but a normal Birder, bewitched and puppeteered into doing a villain’s bidding! And after his defeat, the illusion is revealed, and Birder goes back to bouncing around, but now with a voice of his own as a side effect of his controlling! Birder (character) is absolutely delightful! He immediately greets others as new friends, and is quick to help by offering information he’s overheard!

He is even Holdable! You could hold him!

Birder dedicates himself to fighting for all those without a voice, having known firsthand what it was like... how is he so perfect? How is this bird real?

I hope I’ve made you into a #BirderHerder after this post! That’s our fan name! That’s us! Spread it on social media if you want! But I’m not going to make any effort to spread it myself!

The cats and I are watching this on YouTube. (My brief video of part of the Birder King video.) We watched one yesterday that had ducks and squirrels. But they really like the chipmunks. I think they may have caught a few during their outdoor times.

The first video I showed them had mice. Batcat in particular really enjoyed that one. She’s an expert mouser. She caught them all the time before she came inside. Mama even reached up for the screen. Mice were more than plentiful in my old backyard where they lived.

They only really discovered the tv last week when my boy came over to help me move stuff. They’d never looked up at it before then, so I figured I’d give “Cat TV” a shot. It’s a hit. (Kitty thumbs up… if they had them.)

And actually, I find the nature sounds kinda soothing. 👍🏻

MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: ROUND ONE: COMMON LOON vs. BLACK CAPPED CHICKADEE

IN THE BLUE CORNER, we have the master of the waves, the king of the lake, the COMMON LOON!

this bird is a true lunatic. this bird is a true master of the water, and his haunting calls can be heard echoing across the lakes and ponds of north america. this is a fierce competitor that always gives 110% in the ring. get ready for some aquatic action, folks, because the common loon is about to take flight and deliver some serious punishment to its opponent.

IN THE RED CORNER, we have the high-energy, high-flying, and high-pitched wrestler, the black capped chickadee!

this cold-weather bruiser is well loved among backyard birders for its charming chirps and its boldness around humans - excited fans report being able to feed chickadees by hand. this little dynamo's calls are highly complex, able to communicate different types of information to members of its flock. most well-known is the "chick-a-dee-dee-dee" call that gives this wrestler its name. it sounds simple, but this call has been the subject of research since the 1970s due to its complexity. this call can be arranged in different patterns to communicate information about threats from predators and coordinate group movements. watch out, because the black capped chickadee is one fierce competitor that won't back down from any challenge.

Genus: Basileuterus

Golden-crowned Warbler by Dario Sanches

Basileuterus is the original South American genus, which was split into this current genus and Myiothlypis. Ironically, this genus is now more heavily concentrated in Central America, with only a few species even dipping into South America. Two of the species sometimes make it into the Southern US, making them a treat to see and often a difficult pair of birds to chase for hardcore birders- these two being Rufous-capped Warbler and Fan-tailed Warbler.

I found the etymology section on Birds of the World and thank goodness I did. Before that, I was trying to piece together root-words and got the meaning of this genus laughably wrong. Basileus refers to 'king-like', and Aristotle likely was referring to Wrens (Troglodytes) or the Goldcrest (Regulus) when using the term. Which makes sense- he wouldn't have even known the Americas existed. The name was adapted for this genus as Basileuterus to mean "more kingly".

This is another sedentary genus, and as Central America is often more of a tourist destination than a research spot (to USAmericans, that is), it is also hard to find more information about the genus as a whole. Hopefully that changes soon, as there are more conferences and meetings between banding organizations in the English and Spanish speaking worlds.

semi-related by why is Jonathon Franzen in the New Yorker trashing The Peregrine. Who died and made him the King Birder. It's only 200 pages long dude the lengthy landscape descriptions are vital to the story of the bird, the decline of the countryside and the decline of the way of life inextricably linked to the bird's falling numbers. Jesus it's almost explicitly text a well-read sixth grader could work that out.

anyways JA Baker's The Peregrine (1967) D. Nickels' Book of the Year

Beach Star Realty - Grand Palms at Deerfield

**Please note the Wyndham timeshare amenities are not available to guests**

Delight your family and friends with a stay at this 2BR townhome at Deerfield Plantation in Surfside Beach. This condo is much more laid back than the craziness of Myrtle Beach as well as more family friendly. Perfect for guests who want to relax with the whole family and explore the South Strand from Surfside Beach down through Garden City Beach and Murrell's Inlet.

With nearby activities for thrill-seekers and beach bums, kids and grandparents—and everyone in-between—every guest can spend their days doing what they love. A split-level layout offers exceptional privacy, with one bedroom and bath on each floor. Downstairs, an open floor plan makes gathering a breeze, too. Speaking of breezes: enjoy the sea air from your private balcony overlooking a pond. Plan your day over breakfast prepped in your full, open kitchen, with cabinets well-stocked with dishes and cooking utensils.

You may be tempted to linger over a second cup of coffee on your private, pond-view balcony—watch for birds and turtles. Serious birders and wildlife enthusiasts can collect more sightings at the nature preserve, while those seeking relaxation can hit the beach. Both are just minutes away. Pick a restaurant to reconvene for lunch and share the morning’s adventures. Maybe you’ve shopped ‘till you dropped, played a round of putt-putt with the kids, cycled the nearby bike path, or took a boat out on the water for a serene morning of fishing. All of this is also just minutes away.

Back home, your group of up to 8 will find an ideal balance of togetherness and privacy, with an open and inviting living area and two bedrooms, each on their own floor and each with their own bath. The lofted master suite, on the upper floor, is a sprawling space with two full-size beds (sleeps 4), a walk-in closet, and a private en-suite bath with a tub/shower combination. Downstairs, the guest suite feels more like a second master, with a king-size bed and a full bath. There is also a conveniently located half bath off of the kitchen so your guests don't have to use either en suite bath off of the bedrooms.

Here in Surfside Beach and the Grand Strand, the beaches are famous; the food is divine (think hundreds of restaurants!); the golfing is excellent and the setup is decidedly family-friendly. In fact, it's known at "the family beach" When the sun goes down, fun-loving kids and night owls alike will love the glittering lights and tangible excitement of the Grand Strand—home to amusements, shows, and dining galore. From the tip of Pawleys Island’s Apache Pier to the tranquil marshlands of Murrell's Inlet, the Hammock Coast offers a bit of rest and respite just a short drive away—perfect for days when you want a change of scenery. Let us help you discover all of this and more! We Value our Guests Privacy but are Available if Needed.

A Car is Recommended.

Northern Cardinal

The male Northern Cardinal is perhaps responsible for getting more people to open up a field guide than any other bird. They’re a perfect combination of familiarity, conspicuousness, and style: a shade of red you can’t take your eyes off.
