The Six Joys of Birding1.) Beauty – an aesthetic pleasure of the birds, their flight and songs, and the nature that surrounds them2.) Simplicity – birdwatching can be performed almost anywhere, spontaneously, with little or no gear3.) Discovery – the satisfaction of puzzle-solving identifications and observing new behaviors, plus the thrill of first seeing something that had previously captured your imagination but eluded you4.) Collection – the act of accumulating sightings and keeping checklist satisfies a collector’s impulse, without the need for storage5.) Hunting – the innate thrill of a hunt, without the harm6.) Connection – connect to nature, and socially to others in groups, or alone,as you prefer
