Bird Banter

Andrew took me out birding in Wahkiakum County, WA and we recorded this episode after a great day of birding. We talk about the Alcyon Farm, his home and wonderful natural area, birding in Wahkiakum County, his Skamokawa Swamp Opera band, his Sea Kayak Business, the history of steemboats on the Columbia River, and more. He is a fabulously talented and interesting person.

See how many species of birds you can ID from the background of the recording.
