Weekly Catch-up:
The guys have a lot to catch up on since it’s been two week since they recorded. First off you can now donate to support the show and Brad and Ray thank the first two donors for their support! (Look for the link below) Brad spent some more time with waterfowl and ended up visiting 5 different locations. He scored a very unique take on an American Coot which they talk about in depth. Ray shares photos from Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma, then Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, as well as a great wildlife outing he had in Garden of the Gods Colorado Springs where he stayed for a few days. Ray also had a few photos from his campsite in a National Forest just outside of Colorado Springs. The guys wrap up the show talking about a video from Rain Saulnier which broke down the Bird Photographer of the Year contest in a very interesting way. Be sure to check out the full video Rain shared on YouTube!
