Want to get to know Texas birder Dr. Rich Kostecke (that’s right, Dr. Kostecke) without badgering him with questions when you spot him out at a hotspot? Check out last month’s episode of the Bird’s Eye View Podcast, hosted by Mathew Radford! Rich shares his early days outdoors, his academic path, his current projects, and even dives into Colima and Virginia Warbler hybrids in the Davis Mountains.
Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, host Mathew Radford interviews birders and researchers throughout the ABA area. He’s already hosted a great lineup of Texas birders, including:
- Bryan Box
- Martha McLeod
- Jill Cravens
- Oscar Carmona
- Troy Hibbits
- Crystal Ledezma
- Susan Heath
- Cecilia Riley: Here and here
- Carolyn Ohl
- Stephen Falick
(Let me know if I missed anyone!)
It’s fantastic hearing Texas birding discussed by Texas birders.
While we certainly appreciate Mr. Radford’s fondness for Texas and his efforts to feature our local birders, it leaves me asking: is there room for a birding podcast based right here in Texas? Let us know if you know of any!
