This recording went far beyond my usual preference for recording with guests in person when I can. We met in Prospect Park on one of the peak birding days of the year. Tons of people were out with powerful binoculars and cameras. You'll hear lots of birds chirping in th background and even people who knew Ryan coming up to talk to him. Nature is everywhere. We can enjoy it where we are when we want. You'll pick up how much fun we were having, wonder we were experiencing, and community we were connecting with. Nature makes such experiences happen. Have fun listening to us in nature watching and listening to birds and birders. Keep in mind: the point is only superficially birds and birders, as important as they are. The point is that you can access nature and create moments. It doesn't hurt to have an expert who wrote the book on local wildlife, but it's not necessary. As I mention in the recording, if you plan to visit New York City and want to explore, I'd recommend Wild NYC over nearly any guidebook. Ryan's home page , which links to his book Wild NYC: Experience the Amazing Nature in and around New York City Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
