What do birders consider themselves as doing when going out birding or more
specifically going to see a rare or unusual bird ?

Is this hunting in a very ritualized form ?


Stuart MacKay

You bet it is. I hope no one denies it. But we all agree that it's a
pretty benign form of hunting.

For this to be considered an emotionless medium, you sure can get an idea
of where people's emotions lie!
