In the dawn of birdwatching, it was never thus. Birding was
simply a leisure-time activity. Only when someone got hungry,
like around Thanksgiving time, did it take on serious undertnes.
Otherwise a chattering of choughs, a gaggle of geese, a muster of
peacocks was to be savored only visually.
The preoccupation with keeping competitive lists of birds
spotted is primarily American. The British look down their
monocles at it; they would rather just “twitch off” to sight a
bird.and record it only in their memory.
Birding has become so animalistic in America that the sighters
have trampled over crops and flowers, and some landowners
have thrown up signs reading, “No Birdwatchers,” and
“Birdwatchers Go Home.”
“Perhaps it reflects the American’s desire to always be
measuring his worth,” Prof. Martin told me recently. “Maybe
we are more interested in goals than in enjoying the process.
