Do you have a spark bird story?

"A spark bird is a term used by the birding community for the bird that hooks someone into their passion for birding."

If you have a story to share, even if it's quite small, please feel free to share with the Spark Bird Project!

The Spark Bird Project

The Spark Bird Project is an ongoing community science initiative designed to gather and share the stories of people’s passion for birds. Re

Dr. Lodi-Smith was recently a seminar speaker in my department and had a wonderful talk about this project and the ways that finding joy in hobbies can impact self-perception and mental health across a lifetime. She really was a joy to have and this project is quite an interesting bridge between psychology and ornithology. I only felt it was right to share the link to her project with my bird themed audience lol.

Also-- even if you're not in the US, you can participate! Dr. Lodi-Smith expressed a desire to diversify the dataset and outside the US is a big part of that.
