Many people enjoy being out in nature and watching birds. For some people bird-watching is an enjoyable hobby whether watching birds in your backyard or going out on bird watching excursions to see birds in their natural habitat.

Birding or bird-watching is the name given to the activity of observing birds and studying their behaviour either by watching or using binoculars. Enthusiastic birders will spend a lot of time out in nature photographing birds and recording all the different species of birds that they have seen.

Birders are very dedicated birdwatchers and become extremely knowledgeable about the different species, their habitats, and migration patterns. Some serious birders will travel great distances to see a bird that is rare, or one that they have not seen before. More casual birdwatchers on the other hand, are quite content watching birds from their own backyard or in a local park.
