Another wonderful episode. Love the combination of birding, culture and the promoting of Sofia's passion for birding with the gift of binoculars.

Cannot believe that in my time of surfing the internet for masterpiece birding shows I missed this. I'm subbing.

I saw the Male Altra Marine Grosbeak in the northeast of Brazil . State of Ceara near the town of Potengi. Jan 2020.

Another great episode from a great series. I loved the short section on the Parker's Antbird; I watched this episode almost exactly 29 years after the great Ted Parker died in a plane accident doing an Rapid Ecological Assessment : -(

This is a great episode- I really enjoyed it! It's got a little bit of an Anthonhy Bourdain feel to it- using birds (in his case food) as a means to unlock conversation about the culture and lifestyle of a region. Works for me.
