Bill and Tassy’s vacation plans went out the window with the coronavirus epidemic, so they’re taking this opportunity to document Tassy’s process in learning a new, social-distance-appropriate activity that Bill has been practicing for a few years: birding. In our first episode, we talk shop about how she’ll get started birding while watching some fine-feathered antics in our backyard in St Louis. Featuring a guest appearance by our cat Pica; photo is of Clarence at our tray feeder, taken by Bill Michalski.
