CBC Special

12/15/22 • 15 min

Are you participating in your local Christmas Bird Count? Today I have a special episode dedicated to the annual CBC. I review three common birds you will likely hear on your own CBC. And then go over three birds most of us will only find in the winter. I discuss Snow Buntings, Common Redpoll, and American Tree Sparrow.

Previous Episode

Turkey and Friends: A thanksgiving special featuring Ring-Necked Pheasant, Ruffed Grouse, Dusky Grouse and Wild Turkey.

I thought it would be fun to put together a special Thanksgiving theme episode including of course wild turkey but also a few local game birds. Today we talk about Ring-Necked Pheasant (1:30), Ruffed Grouse (3:50), Dusky Grouse (8:10), and of course Wild Turkeys (12:10). I recommend headphone for this episode due to the lower pitch sounds.

I had a lot of fun putting this together and I hope you have fun listening to it. Regardless of how or if you celebrate thanksgiving I’m thankful you took some time to listen.
