Beginner's Luck Part 2 • The big dilemma in any birder's book is the dreaded LBJ. This is one of the terms that you will come across during your first years of birding. In fact there are quite a few. A lifer is another, but we will get there in due time. Little brown jobs (LBJs) is the buzzword when the real fundi birders get together. My list of LBJs is still quite long. Some of them are not even that little and some are not brown, but all of them are tedious jobs. But do not despair. If you know all the birds by name and are able to mimic their call, know what they eat and how the male and female differ - what's left? It is of the utmost importance to remember when you differentiate between a Lark and a Pipit that the one has longer tibias than the other, which one I am not sure.
