Birding, Grief and Interdependence

In challenging times some people turn to nature and more specifically birding to keep them grounded, to be present, to observe lifecycles in the natural world and to then bring joy. Think of how you process grief, does nature play a role in your process? If not, would you like to incorporate nature in that process?
