Mindful birding
intentional use of birding for cultivating mindfulness.
Anyone who has been entranced by seeing a murmuration (a phenomenon in which a flock of birds, sometimes thousands of individuals strong, flies in perfect harmony as one shifting, undulating mass)
has had a taste of the wonder and grace available in such moments.
These kinds of experiences can connect us with the present moment, and the gentleness and appreciation.

@holon42 No clue. They had a couple of columns going, and from what I could see they kept swapping members. Never seen that many in one place before. Gathering to migrate maybe?
yeah, migration fits. i've seen some large flocks of migrating starlings go by here. awhile ago now.
