E50 - Frank M + Northern Cardinal & Green Things

Looking at Birds: A Birding Podcast

My guest is Frank Mead, an Arizona native who’s spent the last 10 years in the horticulture industry. Some of his experiences include working in the Conservation Core, a branch of Americore, where he helped to build trails in national parks and cooperated with fire crews during fire season. While he doesn’t have a formal background in birding, his older sister is an avid birder and has taken him along for many birding outings.
Conveniently, right before the backyard bird segment began, a nearby Northern Cardinal began calling!
I apologize for all the cicadas in the background, as their sounds come and go throughout the episode.
