My guest Julie Michael has an educational background in geography and volunteer experience at Sabino Canyon, the Patton Center for Hummingbirds and leading birding field trips. Julie tells us how the local geography attracts and accommodates a variety of migrant and local birds. She talks about mindfulness while birding, looking for Buff-collared Nightjars and shopping for native plants at a big box store. Julie also tells us about the Curve-billed Thrasher and her grape encounter with one.
