SUMMARY:​Spring Birding Mindfulness Walks (STAR program)
DESCRIPTION:Birding is a wonderful way to stay in the present moment. As we walk through a forest or around a pond or field\, we focus our attention on bird sounds and subtle movements in the trees and shrubs rather than the chatter in our heads. Join us for one or more of the upcoming walks led by Debora Diggins\, birder and casual naturalist. The walks will be slow-paced and on level ground; suitable for adults at any level of birding skill. Bring binoculars. Meet at Arlington Reservoir parking lot. To register\, please email debora.diggins@gmail.com or STAR@firstparish.info. \nRain cancels. \nWHERE: Arlington Reservoir Parking Lot \nFriday\, May 10 7:30a-9:00a AND Sunday\, May 26 8:00a-9:30a
