In The Bird Banter Podcast Episode #33 with Mike Resch we talk primarily about his lifelong quest to see over half of the birds on the state bird checklist in the lower 48 states + Washington D.C. So far he has about 14,700 state ticks, and is only 2 states from achieving his goal. Oregon and Montana are yet to succumb to his passion, but they are on the near-term horizon.

You can find Mike at his blogG. State Birding on Blogspot, or you can email him at reschmike1 – at- gmail -dot- com”
