Did you ever hear the phrase “a little bird told me?” Since the beginning of time, these have been original teachings around the world, and this is a very literal phrase. Learning how to interpret the concentric rings of nature takes practice but through a few key principles (and you don’t have to be a birder), you can learn. By understanding 5 main voices birds, and knowing what foundation behaviors to watch for that differentiate baseline and alarm, you can start to experience a more intimate and very powerful depth of knowing.

In this Workshop, you to will learn the most important tools of how to spot the hidden owl close by, how to know the deer or bobcat are around you while camouflaged and how to spot the fox before it notices your presence. Imagine the possibility of what you will see around you wherever you go. You will truly see a whole new world.

“You do not have to be a birder to learn this skill; it is all principle based and you can start using it right away. Read my blog to learn more about The Secret to Seeing Wildlife with Bird Language!” —Frank Grindrod, Earthwork Programs Director
