The link for the report Gail referred to is
http://training.fws.gov/library/Pubs/Econ_Impacts96.pdf

This is the entire document as a PDF file. It's about 10 pages, 
including text and tables of numbers.

As Gail said, they don't separate birding from other wildlife watching, 
but you can see by the lists of equipment people purchase that a lot of 
it is birding.
