I am not a birder. I cannot really understand the checklist approach to wildlife viewing, or enjoying something I have to see through binoculars. I like that birders support ecotourism and wish them no ill, but I definitely don't like to travel with them! I was lucky in that this last trip no one was a birder - two people liked birds but they were not obsessive about it! I do see a lot of birds in my travels, and when there is no mammal to photograph, sometimes I take photos of the birds just for practice. I saw lots of hornbills in Borneo. This is a rhinocerous hornbill.
