Every five years the USFWS releases its much-respected National Survey on Hunting, Fishing, and Wildlife-associated Recreation. The most recent study, from 20011, is packed with fascinating data. Ever since the 2001 report, an addendum to the main report has appeared, usually two years later, which is titled, Birding in the United States: A Demographic and Economic Analysis. The most recent version of that birding report was released last month. We usually wouldnt recommend a data-packed document as our tip of the month, but its only a little more than a dozen pages, and all active birders and those interested in birding business would do well to spend some time perusing its pages this month. After all, its about us. This report indicates that we number 18 million away-from-home birders and 41 million around-the-home birders, and that we are roughly, middle-aged, well-educated, fairly well-off, and gender-balanced. The report also indicates that we are 93 percent white. But there is a lot more in the report.
