Yes some people do care . However I don't really know how much we
can get out of this news group. Let me explain:

 I find enjoyment in "bird watching" by watching ,its a difficult
emotion to put into words.I enjoy the warmess I feel that the birds
show no sign of flight while I'm watching them ,its almost as if they
accept my presence.
 I'm fairly fortunate where I live in that I live on a hill where birds 
come fairly close to the house and I can do my watching from my living   
room with my 8-16x binoculars.
 
 I must admit I very much a beginner and an amatuer at that,but can any
one explain why the US robin differs so much from the british robin.
The US one looks as it belongs to the thrush or finch family whilst
the british one looks like a member of the sparrow family.

BTW - This weekend we had several finches,some blue jays and a red tailed
hawk in the neighbourhood.
