Trailer for The Lifer Coach Show
**The Lifer Coach Show** Life gets better when you pay attention birds.
Life gets better with birds, when you slow down and pay attention.
In this episode, David Bourne says noticing birds can be a simple way to notice the world more fully, whether outside in a park or forest, or through books, stories, memories, and conversations.
He explains the idea of a “lifer” as the first time you see a bird you have not seen before, and says it gets added to a life list.
He also says that even familiar birds can be treated as lifers if you choose to look at them that way, and that taking time each day to stop, listen, and watch can reveal things that were not being noticed before.
