Birds and Coffee Chat: Mindfulness and Birding

We will be highlighting Mindfulness and Birding  

This month, for the birds and coffee chat, Kristy Taylor will join us to focus on birding and mindfulness, learning how to combine birding and nature discovery with a sense of place and mindfulness practice. 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.

Kristy Taylor is a member of Capital Area Audubon and serves seasonally as the Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator for the Michigan State Bird Observatory. The Michigan State Bird Observatory operates two banding stations just north of East Lansing, integrating avian research, training current and future wildlife professionals, and educating people of all ages while showcasing the diversity of avian wildlife inhabiting mid-Michigan.

There is no fee for this online program but to receive a secure link to the zoom meeting.  Your hosts are educators: Lisa Duke and Misty Klotz from Kellogg Biological Station and Kellogg Bird Sanctuary. Zoom in and participate by sharing your recent bird sightings and asking questions!
