For this episode, I recorded 3 smaller interviews at the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival, in the Birders Bazaar. 

My first guest is Victor Lawrence, an educator and falconer, with Wildlife Revealed and Sky Kings Falconry. He tells us a little about falconry and his love for birds. 

My next guest is Dorian Anderson, a guide, photographer and avid birder who some of you might know for his almost 18,000 mile birding trip by bicycle, across the United States back in 2014. While we don’t talk about that, I do ask him a few questions about how he got into birding. 

My final guest is Sue Griffin, Chair of the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival and the Education Director of the Arroyo Colorado Audubon Society. She tells us about her birding background, some of the birds people come to the Rio Grande Valley to see, including the bird of the episode - the Great Kiskadee.
