a cute article, and yes, birding can be a very expensive hobby, especially
if one goes for top of the line equipment and the (especially
international) travel. but photography, fly-fishing, golf, and some other
hobbies can also become expensive in the same manner. And too bad only the
last guy in the article made the point that a great deal can be done on a
far more limited budget. Emphasizing cost only discourages too many people
from getting to know nature. And that can even play into some folks not
taking climate change seriously, as we all need to.
