Description
Do you remember Paul Simon's groovy refrain from the '60s, "slow down, you move too fast"? This advice has almost been obliterated by the jangle of 21st century buzzing, beeping and ringing. We are too often overwhelmed by the noise that pollutes our space or exhausted by the insistence that everything must be done instantaneously.
Yes! There is an easy way for us to step back from our faster-paced lives and learn something important from the birds at our bird feeders and in our backyards. At first glance, their activities might seem frenetic but when we slow down and watch more closely, we notice that their every move is carefully considered and purposeful. You can almost hear them finishing that same Simon & Garfunkel song... "You've got to make this morning last!"
We see wild birds around us all day but may neglect the importance of maintaining good habitat for them. Often the feeling is that "one person can't make much of a difference." However, our thousands of members and viewers have found many ways to help in this important cause.
