SUMMARY:A Bird Sit with Nature Journaling
DESCRIPTION: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. \nA 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! \nIf you would like to mindfully connect with birds and all of nature\, join us at the picnic tables near the restrooms. What to bring: binoculars\, a journal\, something to write/draw with and a beverage/snack. \nThis event is limited to 10 people. To reserve your spot\, contact Teri Carnesciali at teri.carnesciali@sfvaudubon.org or Mary Lou Sharp at mary.lou.sharp@sfvaudubon.org. \nIn the event of rain\, extreme temperatures or high winds\, the bird sit will be moved to the 3rd Thursday. If you’re unsure whether a bird sit is taking place\, please contact Teri or Mary Lou to confirm.
