If you haven't taken up bird watching as a hobby, you should absolutely do it.
You know that feeling of playing runescape or minecraft or some other game and finding that one rare item? Birding is like that, except in real life.
I have audibly gasped many times when I've found a bird that I had never seen before.
Get a decent pair of binoculars (nikon aculon $70 is a good cheap starter pair) and take a relaxing stroll. Birds tend to like water and the edges of two habitats (fields and woods, marsh and fields, etc).
Part of the fun is using your ears and trying to track that darn bird down.
