Guest was Richard Nelson and we talked about birds and bird songs, and listened to recordings of several species singing (which have been posted individually below). Special thanks to Richard for sharing his recordings and allowing me to post them individually for people to listen to. Encounters website (Encounters is Richard’s show, started on KCAW, now also heard on other stations with shows available for download on the site.)
If you have questions or observations you want to share, please feel free to leave a comment here or on the page I’ve set up for that purpose.
