The more data about bird migration we gather from professional and citizen science efforts, the more each one of us can learn about the comings and goings of our favorite species. Find The Data is a free site parsing all kinds of databases across business, education, health, science, society, and more.

But as Bill Bryson notes, he did make one great contribution to the world (beyond his anatomical contributions of course), his reconceptualisation of museums from places only of research to places of research and public entertainment and education. Make no mistake, museum collections are essential and irreplaceable tools to advance science.

Of course, there are many other possible definitions of “ birder ” so accurately estimating the overall number is more art than science. Thus, people who happened to notice birds while they were mowing the lawn or picnicking at the beach were not counted as birders. I believe that FWS wildly overestimates the number of birders.

Birders care about bird science and conservation, but also about access to birding sites and facilities as those locations, etc. Avian science and conservation are well covered by large and well-financed national non-profits. Secondly, the ABA should increase and formalize its advocacy for birders.

Besides the vernacular names, there’s also a good amount of space devoted to untangling the roots of Latin nomenclature, a real boon to those of us without a classical education.
