For those of you who enjoy listening to podcasts (or to audio on your
computer), I've found a few about birds or bird-related topics and thought
I'd share the info. I haven't listened in-depth to all of them, but I do
like what I've heard so far.

Natural Selections
If you listen to North Country Public Radio, you've probably heard this
weekly program with Martha Foley and Paul Smiths' College biology professor
Curt Stager. They discuss a wide variety of nature topics, including birds
(yesterday's show is about Barred Owls, for example). This show is also
available as a podcast:

Ray Brown's Talkin' Birds
This is a call-in radio show from Massachusetts - I've never heard it, but
the topics look interesting.

BirdNote (from Seattle Audubon)
"BirdNote shows are two-minute vignettes that incorporate the rich sounds of
birds with stories that illustrate the interesting-and in some cases, truly
amazing-abilities of birds."
