Bird-watching is a practice of patient receptive waiting opposed to online searching.

Evidence

Bird-watching is the opposite of looking something up online. You can’t really look for birds; you can’t make a bird come out and identify itself to you. The most you can do is walk quietly and wait until you hear something, and then stand motionless under a tree, using your animal senses to figure out where and what it is. — Jenny Odell, How to Do Nothing, 62
