It certainly seems to me that there are more young birders now than in the
"old days". I started birding in 1979, at the age of 12. Everyone at our
local Audubon society seemed to be absolutely thrilled by my interest. I
went on their monthly field trips for about six years but finally drifted
away from birding when I turned 18. During those six years I virtually
never saw anyone that was remotely close to my age. Very few seemed to be
younger than 35 years old.
Honestly, I think I would have kept birding if there had been birders
around that were my age. With no one around that was my age, though, I
ended up quitting for 35 years. When I started birding again in 2020 I was
absolutely amazed at how many young birders I was seeing. It's very good
to see that.
