There is nothing like the first days of spring to remind you that humans are animals too. The first warm days of 2023 brought turtles and rabbits out of their winter hiding places–along with flocks of humans in shorts and t-shirts. And, of course, one of our favorite spring arrivals: THE BIRDS. Today, we’re talking about how to slow down and notice nature waking up again.

GUEST:

April Campbell, retired physician and birding enthusiast who lives in Ann Arbor. April is a huge advocate for getting other people of color into birding, and leads regular BIPOC birding walks around SE Michigan.
