00:00Can we all agree on the no bird watching on the roof rule?
00:12I think you mean birding.
00:15Where's Caroline?
00:16She's no longer a member.
00:17Why?
00:18Get out.
00:19What?
00:20This isn't a dating service. Just get the hell out of here.
00:23The chair recognizes David Portnoy.
00:24I spotted this on the street this morning.
00:26We may have discovered an extinct duck.
00:30Camp Taryncus labradorius. The first bird to go extinct in North America.
00:35Yes.
00:36That is a pretty big claim. Spotting an extinct species.
00:40We just had a great trip to Tanzania.
00:41We've seen over 350 endangered species.
00:43Oh, so you're not birders. You're more like Mountain Dew ads.
00:48Of course the photo is too blurry to prove anything.
00:51The only thing is to find the bird again.
00:53Get yourselves a strong telephoto lens.
00:55Uh, I left something in the lab yesterday.
00:57I'm Ellen, by the way.
00:58What?
00:59We're in a class together.
01:00Oh.
01:01You stole the lens?
01:02Preposterous.
01:03It's sitting right next to you.
01:04Aw, damn it, Peter.
01:06This would seriously be the first photo of this extinct duck?
01:09If I come, I'm taking the picture.
01:10No, you're not.
01:11When do we leave?
01:14Are you crazy?
01:17These are totally retro.
01:18They're my mom's.
01:19You know his mom's dead, right?
01:20She was a real, unsung hero of birding.
01:23My dad's getting married tomorrow.
01:28Gentlemen!
01:29Why are you following us?
01:30I just thought the more chaps...
01:31Yeah, we don't need your help.
01:32You're trying to poach our sighting.
01:33Peter, stop!
01:34I won't deny it.
01:35I'm starting to get very jealous of you lads.
01:36Four birders looking to find an extinct duck standing on the brink of a stream.
01:39There's nothing like the feeling of discovery.
01:40Absolutely anyone can be a birder.
01:41Except for blind people, I suppose.
