Birdsong boosts well-being for hikers, new study finds.
| | | | Are Birds the Reason You Feel Good in Nature? | | There aren't many things we can do these days, but getting outside and hiking is one of them. And according to Mary Jo, one reason being outdoors makes us feel so good is the sound of birds. In a study, hikers who heard secret recordings of birds had "higher current level of well-being relative to those that did not hear the birdsong." Hmm, I wonder what happens if you pipe bird songs into our homes, if it has the same effect. Perhaps that's why there are so many bird songs on Spotify. | | |

| | | | | Wishing Yov and Yovrs a Happy Solstice and Satvrnalia | I know it was yesterday, but starting today, every day is a bit longer and a bit brighter, just as I believe our future is going to be after this dismal year. And a commenter left a beautiful poem:
You neednʼt be a druid
eccentric, weird, a loon
to anticipate old Solʼs return,
our world again illumed. | | |
