Episode 050: The Birds and The Bees, & Butterflies w/Elsa Gallagher

The Bird Dog Babe

Elsa Gallagher is a biologist for The Bee and Butterfly Habitat Fund and an avid bird hunter and field trailer. She’s down from an even dozen hunting dogs to a mere 9 these days. We discuss her Vizsla named Hatch, and his recent placement at the AKC National Champion, along with her lifelong dedication to quail, as well as her most recent project with The Bee and Butterfly Habitat Fund and how you can qualify for free seed mix with their Seed A Legacy Program.
