Rachel Martin, a volunteer for an after school education program with a special group of kids, have been discussing different types of birds and the hobby of bird watching. In their research on the topic they located an article that I want to pass along to others at the request of these students. Bird watching and feeding birds is just one activity that addresses the nature deficit dissorder experienced by many children. Today many of our youth are so intrigued by the various media devices available to them that they are missing the natural world they are a part of and whats right outside their front door. I hope you enjoy and find value in The Benefits of Bird Watching
