Everything You Need To Get Into Birding

01.11.2022 By: Megan James

Everything You Need To Get Into Birding

MAKE YOUR OWN simple bird feeder to attract feathered friends this winter. Lis and Nicole of Outside OT show us how in their latest blog post about “slow birding.”

Lis Duckworth, a Middlebury-based special education consultant, and her colleagues at Outside OT are all about birding this month. They recently worked with Vermont Bird Diva Bridget Butler to create a series of activities to get kids of all ages outside through Slow Birding, which Butler describes as “a mindful approach to birding focused on connecting with birds and the place where you live.”

In their latest blog post, they share how to get started, how to plan and go on a bird outing, and how to make your own bird feeder to hang at home. Head over to their blog to get all the details.
