I this episode I am joined by Dean Hester. Dean is a great birder, accomplished photographer, and sets a yearly goal of seeing 100 new wild vertebrate animals. He talks about this goal and some of his many adventures while he has chased animals beyond birds!

This book is a great resource for North American mammals. It will help you to identify and find them...

Peterson Field Guide to Finding Mammals in North America

iNaturalist, is a citizen science website where Dean logs all his wildlife sightings. His username is ossifrage94. It's a great site to join and be a citizen scientist...
