Did you listen to last week's episode?? This week, we follow it up with a perspective from the other side of Lake Erie! Last week, I talked with Justin Peter from Quest Nature Tours about his perspective on the Festival of Birds in Point Pelee National Park. This week, I talk to Katie Andersen, store naturalist at Erie Wild Birds Unlimited, and she gives me her thoughts on The Biggest Week in American Birding, a birding festival across the lake from Point Pelee. We talk about the economic impact of festivals, the effect they have on birding culture, and why Kirtland's Warbler is such a special bird to see. https://soundcloud.com//the-prairie-naturalist-episode-102

New episode is up folks! Listen to Justin Peter of Quest Nature Tours talk about his perspective on birding festivals: what they are, why he loves them, and why he thinks the Festival of Birds at Point Pelee National Park is one of the most special festivals. https://soundcloud.com//the-prairie-naturalist-episode-102
