Mindfulness can be such a deep, rewarding part of birding. This week on the show we are thrilled to have herself, Bridget Butler.

She shares the ins and outs of her birding practice and guiding, what she’s learned along the way, and why slow birding might be a balm for so much that ails us.

We felt calmer just by spending time with her!

You won’t want to miss this special episode.

One of the best parts of birding in the digital age is the opportunity to explore areas of the world from the comfort of our own homes that we may never make it to in person. That's one of the reasons one of our favorite bird photographers out there is Will Wilson.

Join us this week as we hear all about the birds of Rwanda, Will's beautiful books, and his journey from a career in the British military to a nature-lover who's all in for the birds.
