Event Details

In contrast to a conventional birding walk, which might focus on seeing as many species as possible or seeking out rarities, Mindful Birding invites us to slow ourselves down and get to know each individual bird. When we encounter a bird, rather than rush to identify it, we will spend long durations closely following and studying the bird, making detailed and intimate observations. Along the way, elements of mindfulness will be practiced to leverage the therapeutic power birds provide. Throughout the walk, there will be several prompts offered that invite us to cue into different aspects of bird life, and after each prompt, we will come together to share our observations. Mindful Birding walks are great for both beginner birders and expert birders alike.
