Bird-watching for beginners! Tips from a birding biologist.
Birding with a biologist! She's known for 'Slow Birding'! Joan E. Strassmann enjoys a quiet stroll through areas of Forest Park in St. Louis, looking and listening for birds. In 2020, during the pandemic, the Charles Rebstock Professor of Biology at Washington University in St. Louis wrote a book about birding, "Slow Birding". “This is a book I've wanted to write for about 30 years. Slow Birding talks about five places I bird regularly in the St. Louis area,” Strassmann said. The book, Slow Birding: The Art and Science of Enjoying the Birds in Your Own Backyard, is for anyone interested in birding. The book may be particularly helpful for beginners. “It just introduces 16 really common species of birds,” she said. Strassmann emphasized that springtime is a wonderful time for interested birders to begin. “The kind of amazing feast for birders is migration and spring migration. I think above all, we feel full of hope and new energy,” she said. “Late March and right through mid-May is just a fantastic time. And really early May is the best.” @BirdersStore @MyBackyardBirding @BirdwatchersChannel #birding #birders #birdwatching @NationalAudubon
