    In each Random Bird Thursday (RBT) episode, the goal is to highlight a bird species that probably isn't going to get featured in a full-length podcast episode. These are birds we might overlook, even though they certainly deserve some appreciation and attention.

I love this podcast. Ivan's approach is very balanced - lots of good, well-researched details for the avid birder in the deep dives into a single topic, but also presented in a way that doesn't require the listener to already know the lingo and have lots of birding experience. The humorous cultural references are done very well, and in just the right amount. Thank you for this podcast, Ivan!

Love birds, love this podcast!
