Tweetable Quotes
"I feel like starting the podcast was one of the best things I could ever have done. It's really given me emotional contact with people. It's widened my knowledge of what's going on in the world."
"There's more than one way to enjoy birds. And actually there's a very long list of the ways that you can enjoy them. There's people that do mindful birding, so they will just sit and appreciate the birds that are around."
"I still have the show and it's still my passion. I move around about what kind of episodes I'm going to release, and over the last year I've struggled to be consistent. So I'm always trying to work back towards being consistent with my episodes."
