Bird Sh*t Podcast

Andrés Jiménez, a biologist and conservation advocate, has found a snowy owl in downtown Toronto, searched for snakes all across Costa Rica, and rediscovered a toad species that was missing for 30 years. His 9-5 job is leading urban birding programs for Bird Studies Canada, the largest Canadian non-profit dedicated to birds.
You don't want to miss out on his remarkable stories of the natural world, ranging from his native Costa Rica to his current Canadian outpost.
