A friend of mine @ Tarragon Tree Creative Support told me one of her clients couldn’t have pets anymore but when she discovered birds she realized she had the best of company. I couldn’t agree more with her. I love these bird visitors. Any guess who this one is?

I’ve never had a bird feeder I stocked so regularly. We hear a few chirps and my littlest calls out Downy! Shortly after asking the chickadee if it wanted to come in our house. 😂 There is certain happiness I am convinced in living with the birds.

I realize I’ve been very much in a podcast cave over the last few months. I am so excited to be coming out of that cave to share more about what I’ve been up to! Hope you’ve been well! XO

Hi Bird Fanatics, I wanted to introduce myself. I have a wild love for birdsongs and am a fairly mediocre photographer.

That being said, I am starting a visual podcast series about our local song birds and why they stir such happiness in us. The Bird who made me Happy

I would be so delighted to connect with any of you who might share this love. I am going to be actively looking for guests for the podcast (please reach out if you'd love to tell your story [email protected]) as well as footage (if you have some song bird footage, or photo's that you would love to share more widely with the world, please connect, I'd be delighted to showcase your work!

I am excited to meet you and look forward to getting to know you.

Part of this process for me is learning who these incredible birds are that can soothe our systems. This gorgeous photo of a Bewick’s Wren by Barry Hetschko. Makes me wonder what the hulquminum name is Jared Qwustenuxun Williams any ideas?

Working on the website.. search deep enough and you'll find a soothing bird soundscape. THANKS to Barry Hetschko for the beautiful photo of the Benwick Wren

https://thebirdwhomademehappy.wildpeace.ca/

a soothing soundscape awaits It seems I’ve lost the art of keeping a clear mind. And in a pandemic world, access to the usual escapes either seem harder to come by or they are losing their effect on me. Which makes me wonder how I might turn to some more natural, even archaic forms of comfort….....
