bird watching
Spotting feathered wildlife
Bird watching is the hobby of observing wild birds in their natural habitats, typically with binoculars and field guides.
Also called birding.
Enthusiasts may keep lists of species spotted or travel to see rare birds: We went bird watching at the nature reserve.
The activity ranges from casual backyard observation to serious scientific pursuit.
