One of the greatest joys of spring is the return of migratory birds, and May is an incredibly exciting time for birding in New Hampshire. If you enjoy nature, this is arguably the most dynamic and colorful time to be in the Granite State!
May marks the peak of spring migration, with millions of birds funneling through New Hampshire’s river valleys, coastal areas, and forests. You’ll suddenly see a burst of color and hear a symphony of new songs as warblers, vireos, orioles, thrushes, and hummingbirds arrive either to set up nests for the summer or to rest before continuing further north to Canada.
When you pause, listen, and stay fully present in your body while tuning into the birds around you, your appreciation of their uniqueness grows exponentially, as does your joy! This mindfulness-focused bird walk is a relaxing way to enjoy the forest and field habitats along Sandwich Notch Road while learning first-hand from an experienced birder, naturalist, and mindfulness teacher.
We’ll practice identifying bird songs, like the buzzy, insect-like trill of the Northern Parula or the haunting, beautiful melody of the Hermit Thrush. Lena will share her natural history knowledge, enthusiasm, and tips for exploring bird life outdoors, while guiding you to stay present and in tune with your senses. Deepen your connection to the living world by learning about our local bird migration through a unique meditative approach. Come and let your curiosity take flight!
