But does the value of a particular trip come from the number of birds seen, viewing a particular species, seeing an endangered species, catching a glimpse of a rarity, adding a lifer, or something else? Birders derive “value” from birding. How much do birders value a birding experience?

Mai Po Nature Reserve : world famous locale for shorebirds, waterfowl, waders, and wetland birds; wintering grounds for certain endangered species. One of the high points of my visit was experiencing the city’s world-class mass transit system. When it comes to cities, Hong Kong is as big as it comes. Do your research.

I am a westerner, so perhaps it is a glorious hotspot, but I’ve never heard Cape Ann, Massachusetts referred to as a world-class birding location. However, Kirtland’s Warbler is no longer listed on the Endangered Species Act, as it was delisted in 2019. That seems like a fact ChatGPT should get correct.
