Of course, as places that are largely “untrammeled by man,” wilderness areas also have birds ( 591 species according to one study ) for birders willing to leave roads and infrastructure behind. And some object to various restrictions, such as those that preclude mountain biking and commercial activities.

BirdLife International believes that this might be maximum population the species can reach, as it seems to completely saturate its range.

There are the endemics, which are odd in their own way, and then there introduced species, which are so varied in their type and origin that you get the feeling you’ve arrived at the aftermath of a small zoo that escaped.

But does the value of a particular trip come from the number of birds seen, viewing a particular species, seeing an endangered species, catching a glimpse of a rarity, adding a lifer, or something else? Birders derive “value” from birding. How much do birders value a birding experience? Citation: Kolstoe, Sonja, and Trudy Ann Cameron.
