Most of us have been working from home for about 4 months due to the corona virus. Many of us have spent more time than ever before at home. Maybe you’re growing a veggie garden or taking time to watch the sunset — or noticing a lot more bird activity in your neighborhood recently. This week our host Sun Ezzell checked in with Jared from last summer’s nature mini-series. He shared some bird watching tips, some thoughts about how connecting with nature connects us with our communities, and some resources for learning more about the natural world around us. Put on your bird watching hat and let’s get started!
