Bridget Butler, also known as the Bird Diva, did not originally have a passion for birds.
But seeing an Indigo Bunting one morning sparked her birding interest.
Finding support and encouragement in the Vermont birding community Bridget developed an interest in slow birding.
Bridget encourages the observation of birds as a holistic, mindful practice rather than a race to spot the most species.
She now teaches the practice of slow birding, encouraging others to embrace a slower, more contemplative approach.
