    Birds can be the gateway drug to developing a condition called ecological awareness. They can not only get us into birding, but make us aware of how interconnected the environment is, of how they interact with the plants, insects and mammals that share the same habitats. Join me in this episode oh how birds can open our eyes to the nature around us.

    There has always been a strong connection between birds, birding and art. Even birders who are not artist are probably very familiar with artists such as Sibley, Peterson and of course Audubon, who was famous for his Birds of America project where he drew over 400 of Americas bird life.

    In this episode I will be going over the creation of his signature project as well as how it has inspired me to create my own project with a similar goal, of drawing most of Americas great birdlife.

    To follow along with this project, follow me on Instagram and Facebook at Kaylafiskbirds to see each species as they are completed.
