14: Practicing Curiosity, Birds of Saskatchewan, + Mary the Blue Jay (microbiologist Dr. Janet Hill)

Courtney talks to Janet Hill, professor of microbiologist at the University of Saskatchewan about how to get started in birding, developing a love for the natural world, the joy of spring migration, and the basics of bird photography. Plus: the wonder of magpies (and giant anteaters!) and a bird-banding adventure.
