One morning every week I have been doing Yoga in the Park. Love laying on my matt viewing the beautiful trees and blue sky while practicing the asanas. There is a stream and small waterfall in the background. We practice in a glen back from the main park so the area is a little removed from the park traffic. Love hearing the water, the birds greet the day and sometimes even the man who plays the bagpipes serenades us from afar. Its pure bliss....and then the rest of my day happens 🙃

I volunteer for the Delaware Nature Society's Hawk Watch. We climb up a high hill among the Piedmont range (a migratory pathway), & with or without binoculars, the vista is beautiful. Watching the bald eagles soar is a special treat (alhtough my favorite raptor is the red-tailed hawk).

Hi there! I live in the Boston Massachusetts area. I have been lucky enough to see one red tailed hawk who visits about once a week this year. Usually while I'm floating in my pool our on the yard gardening. Sometimes he is accompanied by a Gray Hawk as well . I attributed this to the population explosion. It's quite a treat!

Put food for birds in the backyard with a birdbath. Can watch them eat, drink, sleep, and just walk around while they ignore the squirrel. Doves make a wonderful cooing sound too. It gives me peace and joy to watch them and know that in my backyard they are safe even when an occasional raven comes by.
