Just a little preview of what I'm calling season three! Spring is just around the corner and before we know it the birds will be back singing their hearts out. Now is a perfect time to refresh our memories on what our feathered friends sound like. It's hard to believe this is my third year of making a podcast. I still learn something new every episode, both about how to make a podcast and how to identify birds by sound. This is just a little episode I put together to reintroduce this podcast and myself. New episodes will be coming out soon so stay tuned. I would love to hear your comments, questions, suggestions, or send them to [email protected] also check out the podcast website here. Happy birding and thanks for listening.

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.

I'm taking a little break from creating new episodes but I will be back in the fall/winter. I know I said I was working on an episode for iterides but my son got sick for a few days so I was stuck home and thought oh I can finish that up real quick. Boy was I wrong. I took forever. But I got it done anyway and now I really am going to take a break for a while. Hope you have enjoy listening as much as I enjoy making these episodes. Don't forget to follow if you want to be notified when new episodes publish. Let me know what birds you want to learn and I will see you when it gets cold again. Happy Birding.
