Episode #24: For The Bird(er)s
From much-maligned pigeons and purportedly “wise” owls to noble raptors and cereal hawking toucans, birds are one of the world’s most diverse, widespread class of animals. To many of us, birds are so much a part of our lives that we often fail to notice or appreciate them.
Such is definitely not the case for the special guest of this episode, the Aquarium’s curator of forests, Kevin Calhoon. In this episode, we chat about all things birding, from how to do it and what equipment to invest in to Kevin’s far-flung adventures in search of rogue swans and other rare or out-of-place avians.
