Songbirds

Going outside means that you have the possibility of seeing and hearing songbirds. Once outside, their song calms you. It centers you. You find yourself relaxing and smiling. You find yourself looking at the beautiful bird and thanking it. They add beauty both in sight and in our ears. Their song is called a call note (Dunn and Alderfer).  

Song birds have entertained us for a very long time. Each time I go out with my camera, I listen for the birds and take their photo, when possible. This blue bird was at a local pond. It was the best opportunity I ever had to see, listen and capture (with my lens) a blue bird. It was a wow moment. They are so very beautiful! Just seeing them makes me smile. Seeing them is like a gift. 

Taking the time to relax and enjoy the sound of song birds is important to our emotional health. Think how quiet the world would be without song birds. Now think how amazing the world is with them. Just those thoughts will help you understand their importance. 

What do you enjoy listening to when you go outside? Why? 

Add dimension to your life by going outside and listening to the calls of the birds.

Have a wonderful day!
