		Birding or birdwatching is a hobby concerned with the observation and study of birds.
		The term "birding" is of American origin; "birdwatching" is (or more correctly, was) the commonly-used word in Great Britain and Ireland and by non-birders in the United States.
		The most active times of the year for birding in the temperate zone are spring and fall migration, during which times the greatest variety of birds may be seen, as many species that do not nest in given areas may yet be observed in those areas as they make their way north or south.
