it’s so hard but so rewarding when you don’t freak out completely when something bad happens. even if it’s a mild inconvenience, do your best to just stay chill and not let it ruin your day/week/month/year/life
i loooove learning new bird calls and bird songs and seeing what little guys might be around if i’m in a different part of the country/world!
(eBird is essential too.. love my birds)
i've met a lot of people just by being out on the trails and not being afraid to ask what birds they’ve seen or if i can tag along with them!
nice bonus being a low-stakes out-in-nature environment with very low associated cost :)
