Outstanding Podcast for New Birders

Chris interviews experienced birders and gets them to share their insights and tips for helping beginning birders. I LOVE this podcast and have learned so much about birds and bird behavior. I highly recommend this podcast for all new birders or any birder who wants take their knowledge to the next level. The podcast is professionally done with engaging questions and Chris has a great voice.

Birding : It’s So Much More

A couple of years ago I started listening. Today I look forward to the next one often repeating previous episodes until it comes out. I always learn more the second time. The voices are easy to listen to, informative and personal. The audio is always clear. The format is such that you can start and stop and not feel lost. Keep them coming Chris. Vmax2016 in San Diego

Straight to the point and not cocky

This has become my favorite podcast fast, he allows the expert to tell as everything and he doesn’t pretend to know everything, for a amateur birder like me that’s awesome 👏 some other podcasts make you fell dumb, keep it up man

Birds!!!

Great podcast regarding birding. Not overly technical and the audio quality is absolutely dynamite! Starting birding this year so trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible
