The challenge is the definition of “birder,” particularly when the underlying survey data was generated for a different purpose. Put another way, I believe that the vast majority of the 16 million “active birders” would be quite surprised and a bit perplexed to find themselves so categorized.

You’d think, then, that applying science to philosophy by studying the evolutionary underpinnings of thought and behavior across species would be right up my alley.

The report even stated that it was using a “conservative definition” of “birder,” suggesting that there were perhaps more than 47 million birders generating even greater economic impact.
