Birds and Coffee Chat – ONLINE

Grab your morning beverage and join us to learn more about five bird species! This month, we’ll be joined by Kristy Taylor, Education and Outreach Coordinator for the Michigan State Bird Observatory, for a focus on Birding and Mindfulness.

Learn how to combine birding and nature discovery with a sense of place and the practice of mindfulness. Kristy will share ways to help you look at birding differently, and use your time outdoors to create a sense of peace, focus, and enjoyment. We will pay attention to bird behaviors, the environment, sounds, and our influence on the natural spaces around us.
