[This short essay](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/30/opinion/birding-spring-merlin-ebird.html?unlocked_article_code=1.000.eh-X.CMLj_CsLEuai&smid=url-share) by Ed Yong is a great read. It feels accurate and totally relatable for the already bird-obsessed while also speaking to a general audience who isn't already steeped in the idiosyncrasies of birding. | ||

> "These recent years have taught me that I’m less when I’m not actively looking after myself, that I have value to my world and my community beyond ceaseless production and that pursuits like birding that foster joy, wonder and connection to place are not sidebars to a fulfilled life but their essence." | ||
Recently I've been catching myself not birding for long stretches, especially when it is so hot in Phoenix, because I have "more important" things to do. I forget that even a short trip to cooler climes, seeing a couple Wild Turkeys and Red-faced Warblers can help me recharge, reframe, and de-stress in a profound way. | ||
