I am retired after 34 years with the Quaker Oats Company. I have been actively birding four, five or six days a week since I retired three years ago. I usually do not bird on Sundays as we attend church and then I usually watch some sporting event on the television. When I do go out birding it is usually for four to five hours in the morning. Sometimes I will bird in the afternoon. Generally, I have found the birding to be much more productive in the morning than in the afternoon, so that is when I do most of my birding.
In hours spent birding, it would be anywhere from 16 hours to 30 hours a week. Sometimes it is "almost like a job", but I enjoy every minute of it!
Am I "some sort of a nut or what"?
We have taken trips around the states with the primary purpose of looking for birds. But, my wife is not quite as avid as I, so we do take "breaks" from birding to do other things.
