If you’re documenting birds through eBird, iNat photos, or detailed field notes then you’re a citizen scientist contributing to our knowledge of birds even if you don’t have a degree/job as an ornithologist.

OK, is there a dictionary meaning to it or it’s an opinion oriented thing?
I’m not sure what a dictionary would say. This is just my personal opinion.

: a catcher or hunter of birds especially for market
From Mirriam-Webster
Well, I technically regester as one. Lol 
I think what matters most is if you consider yourself a birder, not if you meet some requirements which don’t exist anyway.

@tanker-aviator-naturalist. Have you seen any cool birds lately?
Honestly, I have not been outside much lately. I must go out soon.
Yeah!
I’ve been very busy. And when I’m outside, I’m doing something.
I completely understand. Hopefully you can get outside to go birding soon.
Me too…
