We talk with Justin LeClaire from the Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program about birding in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, some of the rare birds currently in the state, his county Big Year, and more!

We talk with our friend and Wisconsin birder Eric Konkol about the First of the Year Birding Challenge, his work doing Marbled Murrelet and Spotted Owl surveys in the Pacific Northwest, as well as some of his recent trips, including what it's like to bird in South Texas.

Derek and Ryan talk about how they got into birding, the challenges they faced when first starting, and how they started their YouTube Channel "Badgerland Birding" which now has over 27,000 subscribers.
