  Demystifying Bird Guiding with Peg Abbott

  Oct 1, 202657 minS9

  Naturalist Journeys is a company we've been excited about since we first heard of it, as it is woman-owned and operated and has a strong ethic of supporting conservation and the communities it visits. Peg Abbott launched Naturalist Journeys in 1998 and it has grown into a top tour company but has maintained the same charm and values she started with. Peg joined us to answer some of our burning questions about guided trips, how one can get started, and what participants can do to make the most of it.

  Hiking at Mount Rainier

  Sep 3, 202655 minS9

  Alt. Title: Looking for White-tailed Ptarmigans On a rare day off from work, we ventured up to Mount Rainier National Park in Washington in hopes of finding our lifer White-Tailed Ptarmigan. We hiked the Skyline Trail which runs past Panorama, our best bet to see this uncommon species. After our hike, we raced up to the Stanwood Water Treatment to see if the rare Terek Sandpiper was still hanging around.

  Pigeon Guillemots in the Salish Sea

  Aug 20, 202653 minS9

  The Salish Sea Guillemot Network is a collection of volunteers and scientists from non-profits, agencies, and more to monitor and learn more about Pigeon Guillemots in the Salish Sea. This indicator species helps these dedicated folks to understand about what is happening in this ecosystem. Maria Mudd Ruth's recent book, The Bird with Flaming Red Feet , highlights this effort. Adventure begins at: 10:07 *correction: Hannah refers to Pigeon Guillemots as a "keystone species" in her song at the beginning when they should be referred to as an "indicator species".
