A long time ago in a park far way... dozens of European starlings were released, forever changing the avian landscape of North America! Tune in to episode one of season three of the Will's Birdbrain Podcast, Starling Wars to learn how European starlings came to reside in the United States, what impacts they have on the locals, and maybe even a reason or two to appreciate these often villainized birds. May the forest be with you, birders!
Welcome to season three of the Will's Birdbrain Podcast! This season we’ll be discovering the ways birds influence not only human culture, but the natural world as well, and exploring the amazing hidden wonders right under our noses. This season episodes will be separated into themes - "birds" and "birding." The "birds" episodes will be like this one, solo narration with sound effects and music. The "birding" episodes will be conversations between Will and guests from the birding world focusing on how birds influence our way of life. These elements of the WBB Podcast were split up so neither overshadows the other!
Thank you for listening, and of course, keep looking up!
