one of my favorite things is when a friend sees an interesting bird and sends me a pic so i can identify them its fun to test my ID skills but also it rlly means a lot to me that my friends think of me when they see birds (to be known is to be loved etc etc etc) look at this broad billed motmot my friend saw in Costa Rica :) beautiful
never thought Iād get into birdwatching but my friend wouldnāt stop identifying birds when we hung out, so now Iām into it too. 2 love/be loved is 2 be changedā¦..
I feel like birding is becoming popular with a younger subset and for me itās about connecting with whatās around me and being delighted by simple, practical knowledge. my goal right now is to figure out which ones are serenading me when I go to work each morning! pictured are Eurasian collared doves I identified the other day š¦
I love to identify birds when I am walking or traveling or just out in the world!!! It helps me make a habit of paying attention to ordinary beautiful things. Touch grass in app form one might say!!
i put a moratorium on international travel for myself last year and it has frankly made me a patriot u can see the badlands of South Dakota, the oldest exposed rock in the world (1.8 billion y.o) at the Grand Canyon, ancient pueblos in New Mexico, the pristine boundary waters of Minnesota āall accessible without a passportāwhat a privilege, what a gift āO beautiful for spacious skies / for amber waves of grain / for purple mountain majesties / above the fruited plainā they were not kidding
