Outdoors. Birding.
Birding.
Birds help keep nature healthy by controlling insects, spreading seeds, and supporting plant life. They also show us how the environment is doing—when birds struggle, it often means nature is under stress. Beyond their role in ecosystems, birds bring beauty and song into our daily lives, helping people feel connected to the natural world and inspired to protect it.

“In order to see birds, it is necessary to become a part of the silence.” — Robert Lynd
“The wings of birds carry the spirit of the land, speaking in songs older than words.”
