Episode 50: Birding the Everglades

Florida Spectacular

Send us your Florida questions!

This week The Florida Spectacular welcomes Susan Rogers, author of the forthcoming book "Learning the Birds", available in April from Cornell Press. Susan talks with Cathy about her birding trip to the Everglades, the time she (sort of) found a dead body, and why birding is dangerous. Cathy and Susan also talk about the most dangerous animal in Florida (it's not what you think), why osprey are superior to bald eagle, and whether or not Marjorie Stoneman Douglas is overrated.

If you want to order Susan's book, you can use code 09SAVE at the Cornell Press website (where you can see the awesome cover she mentions in the podcast) and get a hefty discount. Follow Susan on Twitter and Facebook, and check out her website, too.
