"Mindful Birding" presented by Shannon Rio

Learn about our local birds using photos and information and also sounds that birds make.  This presentation is a collaboration between two friends who birded together for more than 40 years.  The first part of the presentation is about Mindful Birding and what it means to not just identify a bird but to identify WITH a bird.  The second part of the presentation show common birds who frequent the Manor.

Shannon Rio is on the board of the Klamath Bird Observatory because of its work to preserve birds and wild places in nature. She is a wildlife educator with a goal to connect people (and herself) with nature so that they will want to protect what they love. She teaches birding classes in various settings and also teaches yoga, works as a nurse practitioner, is devoted to family and friends and community and loves learning anything about the natural world through hiking and birding and sitting quietly observing the wonder of it all.
