On any given day, hundreds of thousands of people across the country are watching birds. So what’s the draw? Why are people doing this? Well, for one thing it’s rather inexpensive. All you really need to begin your bird watching hobby is a pair of decent binoculars or a camera. And it’s great excuse to spend some time outside in fresh air, alone with nature – the sounds, the smells… It’s a communal experience.
