It depends on the point of view. For example, some people say horseback riding is a sport, others say it is not. The same goes for dancing, Chess, and bird watching. My personal opinion is that it is a sport, because it has a defined goal (spotting and successfully identifying birds) and it is a form of exertion. Of course, my definition of a sport is looser than some peoples'. Some would say a sport has to have teams, (although a Birdwatching group... ) others might say it's not strenuous enough, (but then, if you think about Golf...) and others might say you have to score in some way to consider it a sport. (Of course, some birders keep a life list - a scoresheet of the birds they've seen...)
Like I said, my personal opinion is that yes, birdwatching is a sport. However, a convincing argument could be made for either opinion.
