What is birding !
Birdwatching or birding is the observation and study of birds with the naked eye, through a visual enhancement device like binoculars and telescopes, or by listening for bird calls. Birding often involves a significant auditory component, as many bird species are more readily detected and identified by ear than by eye. Most birdwatchers pursue this activity mainly for recreational or social reasons.
