Birds and trees go together like peanut butter and jelly! We speak with another tree person on today's episode about patch birding. Do you have a patch--a place you go to regularly to watch birds? Michelle Sutton joins us to talk about her patch in the Hudson Valley. We talk about her process to learn about birds, the ethics of birding, bird watching as a well-being practice, and the beauty of her favorite bird.
