Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S7 E1: It Started in the Chiricahuas. A conversation with Alexis & Jake Thompson.
Q: What makes the Paton Center special for visitors and how do you manage accessibility?
The center combines a yard-like setting with a thriving volunteer network, which keeps feeders clean and habitats well-maintained, while ongoing efforts aim to improve accessibility with smooth trails and better gates, guided by Birdability resources.
S7 E1: It Started in the Chiricahuas. A conversation with Alexis & Jake Thompson.
Q: How did your early experiences lead to your current work in Patagonia and with the Paton Center?
Their relationship and careers evolved from college connections to hands-on birding and volunteer work, moving to Patagonia to support the Paton Center and Tucson Bird Alliance, and expanding guiding operations nationally.
S7 E6: Slow Birding. A conversation with Dr. Joan Strassmann.
Q: What is slow birding versus motor birding, and what are the benefits?
Slow birding emphasizes staying longer at a location to observe all the birds there, enjoying the moment and learning from the habitat, rather than zipping between sites to rack up a long list of species. This approach fosters deeper connection with place, more accurate observations, and a greater sense of personal fulfillment from birding.
S6 E26: Homegrown National Park. A conversation with Dr. Doug Tallamy.
Q: What sparked the idea of Homegrown National Park?
The realization that vast areas of lawn in the U.S. could be transformed into habitat by simply replacing non-native landscaping with native plants, leading to a national-scale conservation effort started from a grassroots idea that grew into a nonprofit and movement.
S7 E7: There is No Wrong Way. A conversation with Amy Davis.
Q: Where did you grow up and how did this love for birds evolve in your life?
Amy describes a family history with birds starting in childhood, her grandmother feeding birds, and a college exposure that sparked formal interest; she later found a practical path through field work, writing, and volunteering that integrated her love of birds with science.
