Central Park- a way to make myself still feel alive, birding is the window open to everything, to get myself or lose myself in reality for a while. Just simply and naturally to be part of nature, those raw, vibrant and intengibly fading. Hope it that forever. #

Below is what I most like in this documentary.——

Seeing this familiar urban park filled with birds like that, was one of those rare times in adult's life where the world suddenly seems more magical rather than the less.

Seven beauties of birding：

The beauty of birds

The joy of being a natural setting

The joy of scientific discovery

The joy of hunting without blood shed

The joy of puzzle solving

The joy of collecting

It's a joy to watch a light goes on somebody's eyes, see a bird and know what they're looking at. And they kind of know it.

Why birds? I guess they are so alive, active and beautiful and varied.It's almost like seeing a movie star on the side walk. You have seentheir pictures, you've known all about them, you feel this artificial intimacy, and then you realize they really exist in this physical world and you are sharing space with them. And they really exist and there they are.

Biophilia. We need nature around us to feel more like ourselves.

Magnificently

Maverlous

Fabulous

Vibrant

Thrilling

Spiring

Intensive obsessive birder

Landscape management

But I remember when I started birding, and I couldn't believe central park was so full of birds, I just thought I've discovered this unlimited human resource, that the world was filled with birds, and then come to discovering the heels of that, that one the reasons that central park is great for birds is they don't have any other places to land. And I think the funny thing of bird watching is it can tricky us to think the natural world is doing great because there are so many birds you can find almost anywhere you go but they are bounded up with the nature world that in fact is naturally in peril.

When you are in the blizzard, and you just huncle down with a cup of tea. This is a kind of fun to go through remembering what you have found.

I guess it's away of realizing I am still alive. I got to touch a tree, got to see a bird, got to see a squirrel moving, that something inside of me requires that. And birding opens to me all of it. Central park could give me a natural fix. It's a way to make me feel my soul,if I have one.

Oh, it really has a life inside of it.

Birds are all that's left to the wild world that we can see almost anywhere in the country, so I think one of the reason why bird watching becomes so popular now is this awareness of how fleeting things are. Everyone is hungry to hold something, to touch something that you feel fleeting away.
