Much of North America is gripped in the depths of winter. It’s cold. It’s snowy. It’s frequently unpleasant. But for those that push through, the birding can be oh so rewarding. This is especially true in places where the winter hits hardest. Diehard Minnesota birder Erik Bruhnke is guide for Victor Emanuel Nature Tours and a stalwart at birding festivals. He joins Nate to talk about winter birding, leading bird tours and cool bird facts.  Also, Nate talks Costa Rica birding and a frustrating anti-feeder law.  Subscribe to the podcast at Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts, and please leave a rating or a review if you are so inclined!

07-02: Winter Birding and More with Erik Bruhnke

Today, Evan &amp; Nate go birding with Erik BruhnkeLike most birders, Evan and Nate often times discuss what it would be like to not have professional jobs and be able to spend all of our time birding. We wanted to sit down with someone that has taken their passion for birding and made it his career.We first crossed path with Erik at the Sax Zim Bog trip when he was explaining ID tips for the Hoary Redpoll. His knowledge of birds and bird songs was impressive, to say the least.Erik sits down with us today to tell us about the life of a bird tour leader. What does it take to become a bird tour leader? Where are the amazing places you get to travel to do your job? What are some of the challenges? If you have ever thought about taking your birding from a hobby to a career, or are just interested in hearing about the life of a bird tour leader, give this episode a listen. BIOErik Bruhnke has loved birds since he was a child looking at chickadees. He graduated from Northland College in Ashland, WI with a Natural Resources degree in 2008 and taught field ornithology at Northland College for three semesters. For several years after graduating, his springs and summers were spent conducting bird surveys through northern forests, vast prairies, and western mountains. He worked as an interpreter for six fall seasons at Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory in Duluth, Minnesota; counted migrating raptors at the Corpus Christi HawkWatch in Texas in 2015; and was the 2016, 2017, and 2018 hawk counter at the Cape May Hawkwatch in New Jersey. Last fall he worked at the Cape May Hawkwatch as an interpreter, connecting people with the spectacle of migration and raptor identification.
