Latest Recording & Upcoming Events

Bird Nests & Nesting Behavior with Casey McFarland (Recorded 5/13/25)
Join us for a follow-up event on June 3, for CWTA Members

A conversation about how bird nests reveal the relationships between birds and their environments—both locally and across hemispheres—and how they perceive landscapes and other animals. Observing birds, especially during breeding season, facilitates slower movement in the woods, teaches us about wildlife behavior, and provides insight into hunting and trailing skill. Tuning our eyes to see nests is similar to seeing subtle tracks, and a diligent practice to notice them keeps our eyes up and looking for hidden sign.

Next Tracker Tuesday TBA (July or August 2025)
