Great Podcast for Birders & Nature Lovers Everywhere
If you like birds or nature, you'll love this podcast! Laura has a wonderful style and subtle humor that brings the stories, information and joy of birdwatching alive. I listen nearly everyday while I comute into San Francisco on the train and enjoy myself so much that I sometimes forget where I am. Even though I've been birding for several years and have spent time banding hawks and leading birdwalks, I find myself learning something new with each show. Laura, please keep up the great work and thank you!

Very enjoyable listening. When Laura Erickson speaks "For the Birds", she entertains, educates & enlightens us. Complete with beautiful photographs. Well worth a 2nd, even 3rd listen.
Delightful podcast
Laura's podcasts are absolutely delightful. I especially appreciate her flawless elocution and passion for her subject manner. I only wish she produced more podcasts.
