Downy Woodpecker pecking wood.

We found this Downy Woodpecker while out for a walk at Merritt Island in Welland. It is amazing to come across these birds out in nature. We never realized how many there were in our area until we took some time to get out in nature and see them for ourselves. It’s an incredible experience.

Birds represent a wealth of information and can help you learn how to be more present in the moment. Watch this video and learn how to use birds to improve your mindfulness practice!

It is amazing to take a moment for yourself and sit and listen to and watch birds. It’s a peaceful and calming experience. We believe you can promote mindfulness by taking a few moments a day and watching the birds at the feeder. Pay attention to the birds, how they interact, their calls and what they look like. It’s an amazing experience to learn about and understand these wonderful birds.
