On this episode I talk with Alex Marine, a birder from Missouri, now living in eastern Kansas, but who works in Missouri, and who did a Missouri big year in 2021. I reached out to Alex after finding him through his eBird profile, and really enjoyed talking with Alex. He has been birding most of his life, living in a number of pretty great U.S. birding locations, and was kind enough to join me on this episode.
Alex talks about lots of great birding spots on the episode and here are links to information on a few of the ones mentioned.
Alex works at Prairie State Park in Benton County. Here is a like to the park website and the eBird Hotspot.
The Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary is the top eBird hotspot in Missouri, is a place I hope to visit on my upcoming trip, and was discussed on the episode.
You can find Alex on his eBird Profile, or on Facebook and Instagram.
I also talk on the episode introducation about my upcoming Mississippi River flyway/Great River Road trip. Read more about the Great River Road here.
I’ll try to post regularly under Ed’s Birding Notes about the trip and watch for possible podcast posts.
Until next time, good birding and good day!
