Awesome

One of the best birding podcasts available. Derek and Ryan have been rather prolific at creating content since the start of the podcast, well executed and highly informative while still being entertaining. Keep up the awesome work guys!

Podcast review

So excited that they finally made a podcast, badgerland birding was my first YouTube channel I found when I started birding 4yrs ago. They have a species place in my birding heart and never cease to provide entertaining and educational birding content.
