A recently released report by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, "Birding in the United States: A Demographic and Economic Analysis” shows that 48 million of us, 16 years of age or older, are birders.

Among other things, the report shows that more males than females are birders, the four most bird-rich states in the U.S. have the lowest birder participation rates and that birding is primarily an activity of white people??? Go figure....get out there and get some sun everyone.
