I'm at the age now where I'm thinking about getting into it.

Haha. I started feeding birds on my balcony this winter and i love it.

I don't go out to watch birds (yet), but i love checking what's up with the birds in the garden, know pretty much all of them, learning their songs etc.

Also now on vacation i am way more tuned into what the birds are doing than i used to be, kinda opened another audible dimension.

Seems like a peaceful hobby. [email protected] has a whopping 3.4k subscribers, so it seems to be relatively popular around here too.

There's a few birds I love. Their calls, how they behave. It's especially great out at camp and they show up in the morning. Just sit there and enjoy their company.

So, I totally get it. I'd never get to the levels of going out to pursue it, but sometimes I'm in a situation where bird watching is more interesting than people watching—and we all love that.

Courageous citizens performing the necessary duty of watching for new drone types and capabilities, and tracking usage patterns. They surveil the surveillance system. Heroes one and all.

I liked the movie. The activity itself is as boring as baseball.

Perverts who wait for hours to see birds having sex. That’s disgusting. Same for people who play the piano and hide their racism by using black keys as a symbol of stomping on black people.

And don’t get me started on poets…

What's there to think about?

It's a hobby. Lots of people watch and record things like clouds, trains, airplanes, weather patterns, or even birds.

If someone wants to keep track of what birds they see, more power to them.
