Your Bird Story

Tammah Watts's Guide to the Powerful Healing of Bird Watching


Listen Later

This joyful and introspective episode with Tammah Watts is the capstone to Season 4! Watching birds from her home helped her deal with the emotional wearing of a physical disability. She guides us through her discovery of birds in her yard and writing her book, Keep Looking Up: Your Guide to the Powerful Healing of Birdwatching. You can engage with birds where you are--your yard, your neighborhood, and if you are fortunate, in far flung places. For the Black community, Watts also talks about the importance of taking up space in nature to redress "ancestral and historical" trauma in the outdoors.
