    37: Grandma Sweatshirt Birds

    The holiday season is upon us and nothing says "festive" like a warm, cozy, sweatshirt...screenprinted with some birds on snow-covered branches and probably some pinecones or other ambiguous "outdoor" motives. That's right: put away your ugly sweaters because it's GRANDMA SWEATSHIRT SEASON EVERYONE.  We both have fond memories of our grandmas wearing bird-adorned sweatshirts this time of year. In an homage to both them and this beloved 90s attire,  we are discussing some of the quintessential birds found on "grandma sweatshirts."  Plus, Sarah introduces her new ~ SCIENCE ZONE ~ segment and brings the latest in bird science to you! We also briefly discuss what we've been doing (hint: PARENTING NONSTOP) instead of making great podcast episodes for all of you. But we hope to jump back into consistent podcasting in 2022! BIRDS WE MENTION: Cedar Waxwing Northern Cardinal Black-capped Chickadee Eastern Bluebird White-breasted Nuthatch Support the show

    35: Let's Create a Bird Union with Audubon for All!

    We hope you're ready for some tea. The National Audubon Society is front and center of a lot of important conversations regarding race, inclusivity, and equality—both in the workplace and the great outdoors. In the past few months, the majority of Audubon’s employees have declared that they want to form a union to protect employee’s rights and have a seat at the table. Some Audubon employees have formed Audubon for All, the official name for the union at the National Audubon Society. But, sadly, they have run into some roadblocks with The Audubon Society's executive leadership, who still refuse to recognize the union. Cue the corporate bullsh*t. We sit down with Tykee James and Sharon Bruce, two Audubon Society employees and backers of Audubon for All. They share more about the union, their goals, their struggles, and the uneven playing field between the Audubon Society's executive leadership and on-the-ground employees. Plus, some listeners share what bird they would want to be and why!  BIRD SHIT WE DISCUSSED USEFUL RESOURCES Follow (and support!) the Audubon for All union on Instagram (@audubonforall) and Twitter. Make sure you sign their letter of support! You can also tweet @AudubonSociety and tell them to get it together.  BIRDS WE MENTION (in order) • Barn Owl • American White Pelican • Common Raven • Chimney Swift • Carolina Wren • Emu • Cassowary • Black Hawk-Eagle • Golden Eagle • Loggerhead Shrike • Killdeer • Pigeons (always pigeons) Support the show

    34: Mother Flockers: Cool Bird Moms

    We're back! After welcoming our own little baby birds into the world, we wanted to share our favorite bird moms for our first episode of 2021. Yes, this episode is coming out after Mother's Day, but we were able to record it on Mother's Day so it feels relevant still. Some of these bird moms are admirable mentors and others make...questionable parenting decisions. Plus, we share some recent "Birds in the News" (because it turns out you miss a LOT of news when you take 9 months off of recording a podcast).   BIRD SHIT WE DISCUSSED ** Support the show! ** BIRDS WE MENTION (in order) California Condor Hawfinch Brambling European Turtle Dove Least Tern Shoebill Stork Laysan Albatross BIRDS IN THE NEWS California Condors Throw House Party While Owner is Away Italians Feast on Illegally-Hunted, Endangered Songbird Support the show
