It’s not about birds, go spend time in nature paying attention to similar things and categorizing them and you’ll get the same benefits.

Tons of birdwatchers just watch the birds around their own neighborhood, and it costs very little to go to a park.
I kind of do this but it’s just simply keeping my eyes out for any edibles along trails, would be nice to have more variety outside of hazelnuts and a few berries
It’s the mushrooms for me
No, the goal of Huffpost is for all of us to stop criticizing their journalistic ethics and go be thoughtless bird watchers. Go now or the fury of Clinton/Harris corporate donors will be upon you!
