The cancellation of festivals, international trips, and even many local bird walks and meetings has encouraged us to be more present and local. It's something that Vermont naturalist Bridget Butler has been pushing for a long time as part of her "Slow Birding" initiative. She joins host Nate Swick to talk about how birding can create a connection to yourself and the place where you live.
Also, welcome Thick-billed Longspur!
