The Birder - with Dan Gardoqui

"Birds are constantly calling us to attention...but are we listening?"
-Dan Gardoqui

In The Birder, we dive into the practice of nature connection, especially through the study and exploration of bird calls with bird language expert, Dan Gardoqui. Following Dan into the field, we learn what inspires him to get outside of our daily lives and live a "wilder" version of our existence — one that fosters a greater patience and appreciation within us for the world around us.
