The long effort to increase membership has not worked, and I believe the issue is the ABA itself and what it offers—or fails to offer—birders. There is precious little ABA content for novice birders, and no single publication that covers the basics and presents an entry point for birding (and early ABA membership).

Based on analysis of other information (magazine subscriptions, Facebook “likes,” field guide sales, organizational memberships, etc.), Of course, there are many other possible definitions of “ birder ” so accurately estimating the overall number is more art than science. I believe that FWS wildly overestimates the number of birders.

He analogized the change to adding Hawaii to the ABA Area, which is puzzling since that modest change was preceded by years of debate, a membership referendum (in 2012), and a formal vote (in 2016).
