Birdwatching

Three people birdwatching with binoculars

Birdwatching, or birding, is the observing of birds, either as a recreational activity or as a form of citizen science. A birdwatcher may observe by using their naked eye, by using a visual enhancement device like binoculars or a telescope, by listening for bird sounds,[1][2] or by watching public webcams.

Most birdwatchers pursue this activity for recreational or social reasons; this is unlike ornithologists, who engage in the study of birds using formal scientific methods.[1][2]
