I haven't watched it yet, but I have seen so many recommendations for this gonzo birdwatching documentary called Listers over the past few days that I wanted to share it with you.

Two brothers travel across the United States in a used minivan on a mission to find as many bird species as they can in a single year.

Yeah, not your typical birdwatching fare...the vibe of the brothers' quest is more like a surf or skate video. Here's the trailer:

And the whole 2-hour movie is available on YouTube as well:

I've hoping to make some time to watch it this weekend; it looks great. The two brothers have also released a companion book, Field Guide of All the Birds We Found One Year in the United States.
