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 :)

because this is the summer of hobbymaxxing i went birding for the first time today and it was so relaxing! a great way to get out and truly appreciate nature in all of its glory. i used to be afraid of birds but i found myself awestruck by the natural beauty and grace they exude. if youre anything like me and have been consciously trying to reduce screen time/phone use, birding is a great activity because (1) youre outside and (2) youre actively searching for birds with your group! check your local parks and rec for opportunities!!

I feel like birding is becoming popular with a younger subset and for me it’s about connecting with what’s 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 🐦

or noticing your backyard/local park birds. going outside takes on a new meaning. you follow the seasons and cherish the storms. a glorious hobby and way to live!
