Description

Here is the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Title: WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE DO:

• Person 1: "HEY LOOK! A BIRD'S NEST!"

Panel 2: Title: WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE THINK BIOLOGISTS DO:

• Biologist: "AHH, A FINE EXAMPLE OF THE NEST-BUILDING TECHNIQUE OF T. MIGRATORIUS, THE AMERICAN ROBIN."

Panel 3: Title: WHAT BIOLOGISTS ACTUALLY DO:

• Biologist: "I WONDER HOW SHE'D BEHAVE IF I REPLACED HER EGGS WITH ROCKS, THEN SIMULATED A BEAR ATTACK."

The background features a tree with a bird's nest that has a robin in it. The overall theme contrasts perceptions of normal people and biologists regarding bird behavior.
