  1. Just in general, compared to most hobbies, a cost for a premium membership of about $30 per year is incredibly cheap.  And having been in the IT business, hosting and maintaining a website with a few million entries does cost some money. 

    The premium members are the ones supporting the basic members who still do get a lot of service for free.  That's OK, because people need to initially get involved for free.  But then complaining about something as trivial as $30 a year to keep the thing going  is silly.  In comparison, what does your Smartphone data plan cost you each month?  Makes $30 a year seem cheap.

  2. I'm also a birder and I always have a small pair of binoculars around my neck when I'm out geocaching in parks or the woods.  A lot more folks have heard of birdwatching than of geocaching and most will totally ignore you if they see binoculars around your neck.  It also allows to walk a bit erratically, go off trail, and stop periodically without raising suspicion.

    If a muggle starts to approach you, just stop to look at the top of the trees away from any other people through the binoculars.  If a real birder comes up to you and uses the standard birder greeting of  "See anything good?" , you can try an innocuous answer of "Not today. Just the locals".  

    But don't try looking at things with binoculars in an urban environment or toward homes..  ;-)
