Is this bad technique. If so, why?

1. No towering cumulus or no cumulonimbus, no weather.
2. Use your MFD's Nav/Apt function, that will present cities, lakes, coastlines(coupled with using a low or high enroute chart).
3. Why do airports have birds all over their asses? They always have a radar going...
