Mindful Summer Birding @ Stites Nature Park

Join Valita and Lidia for a mindful Summer birding experience.
Sitties Nature Park is a short loop with plenty of opportunities for stopping, sitting, listening, and watching.
We'll traverse through conifer and oak woodlands, riparian woods, and open grassland and along big, open yards and a garden. We'll hope to encounter plenty of passerines and possibly owls and other raptors.

The vibe - let's get mindful! There will be a specific time for socializing after the walk. Unless there is a question, need, or concern related to the walk, practicing quiet observation is encouraged. This way, we can fully immerse in the moment and hear all the sounds around us!
