Episode 14: Friends Creek Conservation Area

Nate and Evan travel to Friends Creek Conservation Area to go birding during the fall migration. Nestled between Cisco and Argenta, this gem of a park offers uncrowded trails, open meadows and a terrific campground. Plus, there was some great birding. During the 1.5 mile hike Evan and Nate tallied over 30 species of birds, including the Blackpoll Warbler, a lifer for Evan. 

In addition to discussing the morning birding trip, Nate talks about his involvement in Operation Western Wood Pewee, a high stakes, winner take all birding adventure in Champaign. 

Nate and Evan also discuss some of their more awkward moments in birding. Did Nate really stumble across his father-in-law nude sunbathing on a remote beach in Florida? Did the lady really call the cops on Evan when he pulled up behind her in the remote country? Is Nate really the creepy dude hiding in the bushes taking pictures of girls swimming????

You'll have to listen to find out.

Happy listening and Happy birding!
