As it is a commitment to feed through out the year. I enjoy bird watching. I prefer to focus on water fowl as they are easier to see, I am happy to see any other birds but I don't focus on them. I did the merit badge in scouts and got into it when we lived right by Central Park. I have also gone out to Broad Channel out in Jamaica Bay out in Queens, really cool migratory water fowl in both the spring and fall. We do try and identify birds where we stay in the summer near the Catskills in NY.
