A Bird Sit with Nature Journaling
October 9, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 11:45 am
A Bird Sit is an alternative approach to birding. Instead of extended walking and standing, it involves finding a comfortable spot in nature to sit, slow down, be in the moment, and notice details and behavior patterns.
A Bird Sit is not list-driven. It is not always trying to get the next bird. It is a way of expanding your awareness of and connection to birds (and all of nature!) And recording your Bird Sit experiences in a journal using words, numbers, and/or pictures can be very rewarding!
If you would like to mindfully connect with birds and all of nature, join us at the picnic tables near the bathrooms. What to bring: a cushion or a comfortable chair, a beverage/snack, binoculars, a journal, and something to write/draw with.
This event is limited to 10 people. To reserve a spot, contact Teri Carnesciali at teri.carnesciali@sfvaudubon.org.
In the event of rain, sit will be moved to the 3rd Thursday. If you’re unsure whether a sit is taking place, please contact Teri to confirm.
