Show Notes
Wow. We started in "Fake Spring" and took you through birding etiquette, safety, diversity/inclusion, and budgeting. We are here in mid-summer, excited to celebrate the bird joy we created and shared! We look forward to continuing that and bringing you new and fresh voices from around the birding world. We are all "nerding out" through our bird joy, and it's so beautiful. Sometimes, we focus so much on the technical aspects of birding that we miss sharing the joy involved in the process. Although Dexter and Jason love talking birds and bird joy, they only provide two perspectives. There are so many other voices we'd like to highlight and hear from along this journey. We want to discuss fun things like best bird songs, fall migration (crazy fall warbler ID [https://swibirds.org/blog/2020/9/6/a-beginners-guide-to-fall-warblers]) winter birding (weird duck season [https://myfwc.com/hunting/waterfowl/hunt-guide/duck-id/]), and GULLS! Are there other pathways to bird joy that we have not discussed yet? Our host, Jason, is diving into field journaling and bird sketching. Can we interpret nature like our homie and creator of our podcast representations, Casey Girard [https://www.instagram.com/caseygirard/]? Can we get good at nature photography like our homie Anwar Abdul-Qawi [https://www.instagram.com/_anwaraq/]? We are taking a break to get the next season going, but we aren't going anywhere! We will continue to share items on our Instagram profile [https://www.instagram.com/thebirdjoypod/]. Be good and bird safely!
