May 27, 2014: Stop. Look. Listen. Linger.




Gravel trail to the bluff, looking north. 5/3/14 (Kevin Kane)

Recently (5/15/14) our AHHP Friend Todd Burras wrote an entry for his Ames Tribune "Naturally Speaking" blog.  Here is an excerpt...

Eyes on the Sky: Taking time to take it easy on local trails


Stop. Look. Listen. Linger.
That’s been our approach to traversing the trails around Ada Hayden Heritage Park this spring in search of bird life.
It goes something like this: Stop more frequently. Look closer, often with the aid of binoculars. Listen harder for distinctive calls and songs as well as those we can’t yet differentiate (which is a lot). Linger longer to soak in the moment and allow nature’s balm to work its miraculous and recuperative magic on weary bodies, minds and spirits.
