3. Birder since the late '60s and I quit

Too damn depressing. Birds nesting, adult numbers, variety, and locations are so adversely changed it is DEPRESSING for me.

Social Media has turned any sighting of a notable species into a nightmare with hundreds of birders popping up to see a lone bird.

Serene, if not sacred spots of marsh, prairie, deep woods or shoreline are now homes, fields and gone.

It is over as far as I can tell. It is all being lost.
