Reconnecting With Nature Through Mindful Birding
A mother-and-daughter duo, equipped with watercolors and borrowed binoculars, embarked on a journey to slow down and explore their curiosity on Audubon's Hog Island.
Hog Island holds significant importance in the birding community, being the launch site of a puffin restoration project that has been ongoing for over 50 years. It has also served as a gathering place for conservation educators and activists for decades, with its 90th anniversary approaching next year.
It’s the place where my mom fell in love with nature.
For the author's family, Hog Island Audubon Camp has a special meaning. The author's mom, a young reporter in the 1980s, was sent to the camp for a travel story and spent a week discovering the Maine coast's trees, moss, seaweed, and birds. This experience sparked a love for nature that has lasted a lifetime, with the mom bringing her family to the camp when the author was 10 and attempting to return ever since.
