Learn Bird Language

Bird language is the art of tracking animals by following bird alarm calls.

Whenever a coyote or bobcat comes stalking through a bird’s territory, birds will respond by creating distance & alarm sounds that broadcast useful information about their perceived threat.

If you’re drawn to the idea of finding wild animals by tracking, but lack a good substrate like sand or snow, bird language can help you accomplish this same result.

For me personally, bird language was one of the main ways I learned to connect with nature.

I’ve used bird language to locate and get close to owls, coyotes, bobcats, domestic cats, hawks, mountain lions, bears, squirrels, raccoons, possums, deer, and too many amazing animals to even mention.

It’s impossible to describe the feeling of using bird language to make practical predictions about a landscape.

It’s like having your bubble of awareness cranked up to 100x further than what can normally be perceived directly.
