ZEN BIRDING: CONNECT IN NATURE
by David M. White and Susan M. Guyette
Birding can
become a path to spiritual awareness. Conscious birding sets the sport in
context, by connecting and fostering compassion for birds. Through anecdotal
richness, the book introduces the concepts of appreciation, gratitude, and compassion,
while guiding the reader to ways of connecting with the natural setting, the
life-cycle of birds and their behaviors.
David White,
an Audubon officer in New Mexico, U.S.A., was a keen observer of nature. His
captivating birding stories illustrate the Zen lives of birds –being in the
moment, being skillful, using strategy, communicating, playing and even
engaging in family dynamics.
