Keep Calm and Bird On
Star Report
Unlike many other outside activities, birding engages you to tune all your senses to the landscape;
to be aware of sounds as well as sights, think about the tides, the wind, the light.
But where to go? Birds are everywhere, they don’t stay still. But if you look, you may find a few.
Ginger Andrews, MMA Field Ornithologist, has a few suggestions. So keep calm and bird on!
