Birdwatching

Nestled here in our wide-open fields, you’ll glimpse the beauty and grace of the various North American birds happily making their homes, finding seeds and bugs, and singing their little hearts out.  Their variety and color is not only fascinating, but birdwatching is beneficial for physical, mental, social and cognitive health.  It promotes mindfulness and relaxation; boosts mood and well-being; reduces stress and anxiety.  Best of all, it is accessible to practically everyone.  Using Kaufman’s Field Guide to Birds of North America, we’ve noted several of these recurring favorites:

Eastern Bluebird; Cardinal; Chickadee; Mourning Dove; House Finch; Goldfinch; Common Grackle; Red-tailed Hawk; Ruby-throated Hummingbird; Jay; Killdeer; Barred Owl; Tufted Titmouse; Wild Turkey; Chipping Sparrow; Song Sparrow; Red-bellied Woodpecker.
