Much of North America is gripped in the depths of winter. It's cold. It's snowy. It's frequently unpleasant. But for those that push through, the birding can be oh so rewarding. This is especially true in places where the winter hits hardest. Diehard Minnesota birder Erik Bruhnke is guide for Victor Emanuel Nature Tours and a stalwart at birding festivals. He joins Nate to talk about winter birding, leading bird tours and cool bird facts.

Also, Nate talks Costa Rica birding and a frustrating anti-feeder law.
