Podcast Description
When not in the radio studio, Dwight Davis likes to go afield with his binoculars and watch birds. "Birdnotes" is a result of his long-time interest in birds, a short feature that can be about almost any aspect of bird life, from migration to coloration to birds in art to song.

Customer Reviews
Part of my Sunday morning
Bird Notes has become part of my Sunday morning, relaxing with a good cup of coffee. It is interesting and well presented. The presentations are timely for the season and the birds that we have in the lower Chesapeake Bay area, be they migrating through, an occasional visitor or spending the season. It is always a delight to hear about a bird that I am not familiar with, or to get new insight on one that I know fairly well. A good reason to have the clock radio set to come on so I don't miss the 8:30 am broadcast on Sunday morning.
Absolutely wonderful
A wonderful podcast. I am always looking forward to the next.
Haven't seen a new one since beginning of the year.
Come back!
Like a breath of fresh air
This is a short, pleasant podcast with some lovely bird sounds and fascinating commentary on the bird of the day. It is a great thing to listen to on my morning commute.
