This week we\u2019ll be joined by artists from the Lab of Ornithology who\u2019ll walk us through some optional field-sketching. From the comfort of the Visitor Center\u2019s observatory, we\u2019ll enjoy a warm indoor space with a beautiful view of Sapsucker Woods Pond. We will provide binoculars, seating, clip boards, paper, and pencils. Bring your own art supplies if you like. Feel free to stop by for a little while or attend for the full hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll begin with a brief sensory warm-up to help connect with the natural world, spend quiet time observing and sketching the pond and its birdlife, and conclude with a reflection exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mindful Birding blends traditional birdwatching with mindfulness practices to help participants slow down, tune in, and deepen their appreciation for both birds and the present moment. Field Sketching is another tool to help us connect our minds, hands, and eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This session is designed to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Promote overall well-being and calm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve observation and listening skills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foster a more intentional understanding of birdlife<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No prior birding or mindfulness experience is necessary. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>This is a <em>stationary birding<\/em> session, intentionally designed for birders with mobility considerations.We will provide folding chairs and benches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Disability Access Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our parking lot has six van accessible spaces with no-curb access to paved areas.
