Birding tours for the 99%.
Here is the paradox. With 45 million people identifying themselves as birdwatchers in the US it is less than 1% who would qualify as traditional birders being members in a birdwatching club, participating on organized field trips and would pay for guided birdwatching excursions and tours.
