Mike & all,
Birding, certainly. Gives opportunity for further explanation.
Birdwatching tends to sound silly, or bring images of Jane Hathaway from
Beverly Hillbillies. Connotations, rather than denotations.
Nevertheless, I respect "Birder's World", and perhaps this is a minority
opinion, or the term is making a comeback.
