Listen to the birds. The forest's secrets are yours, if you can listen! (Birdsong Hiku). In this video, we explore how to listen to birdsong and transcribe it into your journal. This is the best way to learn the language of birds. You can use these same techniques to describe all the sounds you hear.
About The Nature Journal Connection Video Series
In partnership with the Children’s Creativity Museum in San Francisco (creativity.org/), I worked with a team to produce a series of 40 free,10 to15-minute recorded nature journaling workshops featuring fun and engaging activities that build the skills of a scientist, naturalist, artist, and observer. We released the first episode on October 27, 2020, and we will release one each week through July 2021. Appropriate for children of all ages as well as adults, this program connects science, language arts, math, visual arts, critical thinking, mindfulness, wonder, curiosity, and joy.
