  • birds? great. The wokeness? Not so much.

    Love these short, well-produced bird tales. What I don't love is being preached at by pandering race-hustlers. One pod complained that we need more people of color birding. Do we really? Says who? Maybe "people of color" prefer to do other things.. why does the skin color of people doing this or that activity matter?

  • disingenuous fundraising

    Bird Note’s recent fundraising attempts to leverage the demise of the CPB is so distasteful that I’ve unsubscribed. Bird Note is not losing funding because of federal cuts; their attempts to raise funds, as though they are, are shameful and offend me.

    I’ve enjoyed the content and had been listening from the early days, when it was still a radio show cre... more

  • Not all birders are woke

    Love the bird content- well done. Tired of the woke nonsense like “indigenous water justice.” Exactly why NPR lost its funding…
