For more than 30 years, she’s been working in conservation to protect shore birds around the planet. She’s not only a Biologist and Field Ornithologist, but she's also the actual scientist who banded B95, the world famous Red Knot who was nicknamed "Moonbird," and whom my podcast and website were founded in honor of.
Zooming in all the way from Argentina, she was kind enough to share with me the history of the real Moonbird, a look back on her career, and her views of the future of the Earth.
Her name is Patricia González, and it’s my honor to welcome, on this very special 50th episode of the show, the fabulous woman known around the globe as the ”Mother of Moonbird.”
