Staying positive: Birdwatching

Finding a connection with nature can help bring a sense of calm and well-being. Even though some parks are open, you don’t need to go anywhere to enjoy wildlife and nature. If the parking lots are full, or you are in a high-risk category, you can still find nature all around you.

May 9 is World Migratory Bird Day. Birds offer a wonderful opportunity to enjoy nature from the comfort of home. Black-capped chickadees, spotted towhees, dark-eyed juncos, house sparrows, and song sparrows are all common local birds. Watch for these birds or listen for their songs and calls.

You may be surprised at the number of different bird species that visit your yard. Stay home, stay healthy and #BlockTheReboundKitsap.
