Bird of the Day
Welcome to Bird of the Day! My name is Sam Rodgers, and I’m a 13-year-old birder from Eugene, Oregon. This is an informative, entertaining podcast about anything and everything birds. Episodes are released once every few weeks and will be based on a specific bird species. Listeners can also submit their bird questions to my trusty carrier pigeon, Earl, and I will answer them in episodes. Thanks for listening!
