February 06, 2022 S2E26: South(west) Pacific, an interview with Peter Kaestner - Part 1
This week is the first of a two-part interview with adventurous and accomplished world birder Peter Kaestner. He tells Charley and Ken some stories from his time in New Guinea, including a couple of hair-raising helicopter rides, and a day of birding in the company of cannibals.
One minor clarification: when Peter mentioned Blue-and-white Kingfisher, the species he actually had in mind was Blue-black Kingfisher. Easily confused!
