On this episode we talk about slow birding, as Joan Strassmann writes about in her book. Slow Birding: The Art and Science of Enjoying Birds in Your Own Backyard.  Joan also talks about her work at Washington University in St. Louis, and how her teaching there has led to using birding in the area as a means of teaching students observation skills. In her book she goes into beautiful detail about places and birds she sees and visits regularly.  You can find her book anywhere books are sold. Here is a link on Buteo Books.  To see her bio at Washington University in St. Louis click here.  To read the blog post associated with this episode or to send a comment or suggestion to me use these links.  Thanks for listening. Until next time, good birding and good day!
