Hannah and Erik Go Birding - Back in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas

play

11/16/23 • 56 min

*NOTE* We briefly discuss the recent news regarding the elimination of eponyms in bird names. We want to remind all our listeners that we are not experts on this topic and this is a complex issue. We do feel very strongly that all birders should always feel and be included in the birding community and that as a community, we should strive to increase inclusion and equity in a diversity of ways.
It's November again, which means it's time for the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival! We were able to get down a bit early this time and do some scouting and spend time soaking up the birds before the fest started.
