Birding is awesome, but some people seem to think it's only for retired people who like to look at birds in their backyard. Birding is a great hobby for any person of any age, and here are 5 reasons why it's such an awesome activity.

I agree with your list! Birding is also a great way to get fresh air and some exercise, but it doesn’t have to be too physically demanding. I have also seen lots of other beautiful animals and plants while looking for birds!

I'm a new birder and I enjoy the quiet time observation. After I see a new bird I look it up and study it for a few days particularly waterfowl...I've grown to love all species of duck and waterfowl

Yes, birding is awesome! I've never birded with anyone else before, but I think it would be helpful to have two pairs of eyes. Oh, and another thing, finding rare birds is definitely one of the best things about birding. I just saw two rare White-throated Sparrows in my yard today. I've been wanting to see them for 3 years, so it was absolutely amazing!

My rarest was a Maribu stork that escaped from a chicago zoo. Flew north, saw it in Kenosha,Wis. I could see how much larger it was than the harassing crows. It was captured in a backyard in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Imagine seeing that at your backyard feeder!

Also followed Badgerland's Horicon Marsh guide for my first visit. Thanks guys!

I don't completely consider myself a birder, I started off wanting to find local wildlife here in South Australia and pretty quickly found a Koala, Kangaroo and Echidna and there wasn't much left, thats when I realised the birds are the wildlife! Sounds simple but birds are around and were something I could actually find, where animals like snakes or Echidnas are very unlikely you will just stumble across them everytime you go out. A few years ago I seen 3 deadly snakes in 1 hr, now I have been out in snake habitat more than ever and haven't seen a snake for 2 years! So birding was my best option

Snakes are much harder to find because they need to thermoregulate their body temperature, which is why you will not just stumble across them every time that you're out. If it's too hot or too cold, obviously you won't see too many unless you know right where to look. To see snakes in a climate like Australia, I would assume driving around at night and looking for rock outcroppings near roadways could be a way to find them. I'd assume daytime temps there are pretty hot but with cooler nights, snakes come out and lay in the roads or on rocky areas to warm up and find prey like nocturnal rodents and amphibians.

Went to a private lake in the suburbs today and saw some beautiful waterfowl Including Mallard ducks and Canadian Geese!

Yes! Birding is free, and can be done anywhere anytime, and it IS awesome. 😀

5 great reasons :) Just wanted to throw in, that for myself, birding / bird photography is a very spiritual experience. Every time I have a really great trip, I can't help but think about what an amazing blessing it was :)
