Episode 18: The Mindful Birding Project with Dr. Barbara Patterson
About this episode
In this episode we welcome Dr. Barbara Patterson from Fort Collins Colorado. Barb’s work of creating and contributing to the Mindful Birding programs in her community is tremendous. Her latest endeavor is called The Mindful Birding Project, and she shares the details with us here.
Barb authored the booklet A Mindful Birding Journey which was first distributed to cancer patients in her local community, and can be found as a free download on the mindful birding network’s resources page.
Holly Thomas shares a reading from writing of Ed Yong, and how this so beautifully intertwines with mindful birding.
Chris Benesh returns in this episode's Joy of Birdsong segment, sharing some special moments he had with a Brown-backed Solitaire in Oaxaca Mexico.
