This week: Courtney talks to Tim O'Connell about ecology, conservation, cultural beliefs about eagles and vultures, and Tim offers up the best bobolink impression we've ever heard.


The Thing with Feathers is birds, birding, and hope with an obsessive newbie birder and a wide range of experts and special guests.
