The HBW entry for the Downy Woodpecker (Reno, USA) illustrates a common phenomenon – apparently, the more a species is known, the more subjects for further research pop up. However, if out of courtesy one of the other woodpeckers switches the talk to another favorite topic, ants, the Ground Woodpecker is happy to share its experience.

How much do birders value a birding experience? For example, binoculars and field guides have a cost that can be measured in dollars. But there are few transactions that can be analyzed to determine how much value birding experiences, themselves, provide to a birder. This includes bird-watching experiences.

Where predators are rare, turning more attention to feeding might produce a Darwinian benefit, for example. Plasticity in humans is probably modulated primarily through experience and enculturation.
