The challenge is the definition of “birder,” particularly when the underlying survey data was generated for a different purpose. Put another way, I believe that the vast majority of the 16 million “active birders” would be quite surprised and a bit perplexed to find themselves so categorized.

While still in my 30′s I did not feel any differences to being in my 20′s, but the early 40′s make it clear once and for all that I have definitely left my youth behind. I know for a fact that science is correct in stating that they don’t suck the milk of goats. This sounds – and is – dark.

The report even stated that it was using a “conservative definition” of “birder,” suggesting that there were perhaps more than 47 million birders generating even greater economic impact.
