To quote the US survey:
To be counted as a birder, an individual must have either taken a trip
one mile or more from home for the primary purpose of observing birds
and/or closely observed or tried to identify birds around the home.
Thus, people who happened to notice birds while they were mowing the
lawn or picnicking at the beach were not counted as birders. Trips to
zoos and observing captive birds also did not count.
Regards
Alan
