Your Guide to the Powerful Healing of Birdwatching

Sometimes healing begins simply by looking up.

In Keep Looking Up, licensed therapist and avid birder Tammah Watts explores the restorative power of birdwatching and the profound impact that connecting with the natural world can have on our emotional well-being.

Blending personal story, therapeutic insight and practical guidance, Watts shares how discovering birds became an unexpected source of comfort and connection during a difficult season in her own life. What began as a simple practice of noticing eventually became a pathway toward greater mindfulness, presence and joy.

Designed for experienced birders and complete beginners alike, the book encourages readers to slow down, step outside and become curious about the life unfolding around them. Along the way, Watts offers accessible ways to begin birdwatching while exploring themes of self-care, resilience and our innate connection to nature.

Warm, approachable and beautifully grounded, Keep Looking Up is a reminder that wonder doesn't always require going somewhere extraordinary—sometimes, we simply need to notice what's already there.

A thoughtful gift for nature lovers, birdwatchers or anyone seeking a gentler way to reconnect with themselves and the world around them.
