Ok, so I've decided for story based games like this one I'll do a playthrough post, then a thoughts post sort of separately. Assume there are spoilers in the playthrough posts going forward, so if you're looking to join the legion of 50k gamers with this at some point in the future, you might want to skim the playthrough posts.

Casual Birder Playthrough (Con't):
-I wake up in some old ladies house. Both my kidneys appear to be in my body still, so Ill assume this is a friend.
-I check her bookshelf and it says wading birds eat all sorts of things INCLUDING acorns. Yep yep acorn puzzle coming up, got it.
-This womans name is Old Meg or at least thats what people call her. I hope theres at least a young Meg out there as well so the nickname is less hurtful.
-Oh, the present is for her. Well, puzzle one solved thank you very much.
-Mustache Man left a note on it calling her his dearest Magpie which is a bizarre term of endearment.
-Its a photo diary, but she says shes too old for it and those mean birders make it hard anyway. You're never too old to bird, lady.
-This town used to be pure, kid. Man, if I made a list of sentences I did not want to hear from old people, this is all the way at the top behind only help my colon is leaking again.
-That gang is called the Pearly Eyed Thrashers, and theyre pushing all other birders out of the hobby. Truly this is the worst thing to happen to birdwatching since pigeons.
-Theres some photo contest going on, but the gang of bad birders has won the past three years through underhanded and violent methods. Ok, well, good to know. I think Ill be moving, now
-Hmmmyou seem like youre pretty okay with getting smacked around a bit I dont know what gave you that impression but I assure you it isnt the case.
-Hm. Theres some legendary bird that is migrating through town for the first time in 100 years. Im assuming thats the final boss photo I need to take, then.
-The old woman is like hey you need this super important camera if youre going to beat this game and then a bird comes and steals it. Damn birds in Birdtown are becoming birders themselves.
-Theres another bird on the old ladies roof though! A Cron. 4 out of 27 GET.
-Theres some bird flying all over the place one screen over. I have acorns but they seem uninterested. Drat.
-Theres a bridge out and some guy crying. CRYING GUY FIX THE BRIDGE I HAVE BIRDS TO PHOTOGRAPH!
-I didnt even realize what I had. Im such a donk-up. You should just call me Donk-Up Donklas the Donk-Up Guy!! No I dont think I will. Im going to call you Bridge-Fixer Donklas the Bridge Fixer Guy because youre GONNA FIX THIS DAMN BRIDGE.
-He says not even a picture of his birdsona would cheer him up, but it lets me show him a picture right after so clearly some picture of a bird will cheer him up.
-Oh, well, here we go. One screen over is a woodpecker or totally not a woodpecker but a bonker-bellied tree tapper because woodpecker was copywrited apparently.
-Yeah if you wait until he starts pecking it actually says your picture is of a hammering long name here dont care to look it up again so this has to be what it is.
-YEP. Bridge rebuilt. Puzzle solved? Was this a puzzle? If so good job me!
-Theres actually a new mechanic in this second area where all the new birds move around. The woodpecker lands then pecks, some other one flies and then goes into foliage, and then a third just flies all around. You have to focus the bird when it lands and then likely snap a shot when it lands for the second time. So a bit more complex.
-There is a dark cave I cant see in (but some characters one screen over mention a camera with a flash should light it up) and the one bird flying all over the screen is never in focus. So puzzles for later, Im assuming.
-Theres also a huge hole in a tree that I cant seem to do anything with. Either there is a bird in there or a small sports utility vehicle. Its a super big hole.
-I keep trying to get a picture of that bird in flight because Im stubborn. Always blurry though. Ill try for 30 more minutes and then just come back to it later.
-Yeah it is actually showing up as speedy blur in the photograph so its too fast for my camera, probably. Ill check back later.
-Ok so Im up to 6/27 now. Got the dirty-domed hunkadoo which is my favorite name so far.
-Bro I just want to practice my love of ornithology. NEW SENTENCE ALERT EVERYONE WE HAVE A NEW SENTENCE ALERT.
-This town really is being traumatized by those no good bad birders. Poor guy over here is crying at the bar.
-Some other non-crying person at the bar drops the hot details that one of the members of the bad birders orders two coffee which is crazyunless shes getting one for someone else. A CLUE A CLUE
-I can order coffee from the lady at the bar. Y'know, this might be a coffee shop and Im just an alcoholic based on where my mind went first, oops.
-She says that I am, under no circumstances, to litter. Well, you know what that means.
-I throw that coffee cup on the ground. IM AN ADULT.
-I get a reaction dialogue so maybe Im doing the right thing!
-This dumb dumb gives me another coffee!
-HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GROUND.
-This goes on like six more times, with the dialogue getting more intense every time until she starts speaking in tongues and kicks me out. She takes a garbage bag full of empty cups to the garbage can and a bird flies by to sit in it. Best bird so far imo.
-Also this bird is huge and fat and fills up the entire garbage can. Definitely best bird.
-Next screen over is Meatball, a bird that is just sitting in the window of a shop called dogs only. Wow what a rebel.
-Dogs are the smartest animals alive! They can tell you all kinds of things. At least, thats what Im assuming. I guess Ive never really met one. But if I did, Id see if it knew any secrets. Im not even positive you know what dogs are, from this conversation.
-Pool hall girl is ready to talk. Apparently she used to run with the Thrashers aka bad birders. The one who punched me is Cozumel, and shes the worst. Shes the BOSS OF THE GAME which sounds pretty serious. Sage and Gray, on the other hand, arent all bad. Someone needs to remind them theyre human. Ill make sure to yell out YOU TWO ARE HUMAN! when I see them to see if that helps.
-Hummingbird one screen down brings me up to 9. 9/27 birds. A third of the way done!
-Haha you dumb idiot. Ill never kiss you! I didnt ask! Do you yell this at anyone who approaches you with a camera and an album of bird photos andyou know what? Nevermind. Warranted response.
-I found a goose! There is an Untitled Goose Game reference here and the bird is called local celebrity. Yeah, too obvious a joke to miss, I guess.
-There was a sign by the goose that said watch out for pranksters and I was almost afraid to enter lest the bad birders beat me up. Turns out it was just a silly goose.
-Well, that was a nice bath! Thank you for joining me!! What the hell did I just walk in on.
- Theres someone with a camera here. Seriously, what did I walk in on!?
-Oh camera guy is a pervert. SHOO CAMERA PERVERT. YOURE GIVING US CAMERA NON-PERVERTS A BAD RAP.
-Haha the swimming people are just like wow that guy with his camera is weird. Yeah, thats one way to phrase sex criminal, I guess.
