Important Birding Areas
About the Birding Hot Spot
Is the birdinghotspot for birders or bird watchers?
Birding is a sport. Bird watching is a pastime. Birding may mean traveling extensively to track down a certain bird. Bird watching may mean visiting a local nature preserve or park with friends. Birding may mean seeking information and knowledge about birds and their migration patterns, natural habitats, and food choices. Bird watching may mean enjoying the plumage of the species in your backyard and the way the birds flit and fidget in neighborhood trees. Birding can be competitive and bird watching may be more casual.
But sometimes the differences are artificial and not all that meaningful. Still we also understand the importance that distinctions have in the content of a site like “Thebirdinghotspot.com.”
Wet think of this site as a site for birders and bird watchers – but one that leans a little bit more in the direction of birding. And that’s why you’ll find lots of information on where to find birds, on trails and tours and on gear and equipment.
In both cases – birding or bird watching – there’s a blended challenge for anyone interested in the study or antics of birds. And there’s a blended reward – in both the “chase” and in the find.
And there’s a final thing about us and this site, we hope to make both birding and bird watching accessible to anyone of any age or income level.
