This bird watching guide will inspire kids to get outdoors and away from computers and concrete.
In his article, “A Shot Against Nature Deficit Disorder“, in the San Francisco Chronicle, writer Dan Shapely, discusses Bill Thompson III’s bird watching guide, The Young Birder’s Guide to Birds of Eastern North America.
Mr. Shapely says Thompson is trying to inspire children to go outside, pick up his book, and put down their iPods, Wii controllers, and cell phones .
“The only outside time kids are getting is soccer practice,” Thompson said during an interview with The Daily Green.com.
“My big concern is we’ve got a generation or two of kids that don’t have a connection to the natural world on their own terms, and they won’t care to conserve it.” View the article.
