On this episode my guest is Michael Hobbs, a King County, WA based birder who has been doing weekly bird surveys at Marymoor Park in Redmond, WA for almost 30 years.  You can contact Michael at this link to the park. We talk about the experience of such regular intentional bird surveys of a single location, the benefits, both in friendships made and birding experiences of his efforts, and about his other birding interests.  County birding is also fun, and Michael is one of a handful of WA birders who have listed >150 species in all 39 of the WA counties.  He travels internationally at times for birding, and is an overall interesting guest.  Enjoy. To see more information about the episode and topics, see the blog post on the Bird Banter website.  Thanks for listening. Until next time, good birding.
