  • Wonderful birding podcast

    Ed’s a great host with a kind voice and gentle demeanor. His guests are sometimes good, often great, and listening in feels like eavesdropping on fellow birders in a diner after a day out birding. Just a reliable good show that I never miss and you’ll enjoy it too!

  • Holly Merker interview

    I just listened to your podcast for the first time and appreciated Holly's thoughts about the therapeutic aspects of birding. However, Holly mentioned putting her hair out for nesting material and talked about how it helped her spirit to see her hair being used by a titmouse. Unfortunately, human hair is NOT a good nesting material. It is too strong and too long and can create problems with tangling for birds. I hope you will find a way to correct any misunderstandings from this story.

  • Easy listening

    I enjoy listening to other birders talk about birding. I get some good ideas to improve my hobby by listening to the show. The host does an excellent job.

    Regarding the question about organizing photos in the recent Dennis Paulson episode, I would recommend Lightroom Classic (used on a pc or laptop). I have used it since version 1.0 in 2007 and never had issues. Once you keyword photos, they can be searched in a second. You can also do advanced searches such as find all warblers between ... more
