Backyard Birding

Backyard birding offers a simple, rewarding way to connect with nature. With a window, balcony, or small outdoor space, says naturalist Matt Felperin, you can observe a surprising variety of birds in their routines. From the flash of color as a cardinal lands on a feeder to the familiar call of a chickadee in a nearby tree, these everyday encounters reveal the richness of the natural world outside your door.
