The Hi there, everybody, it's Ellen Weatherford.

And Christian Weatherford.

And this is just the Zoo of Us, your favorite animal review podcast where we rate your favorite animals out of 10 in the categories of effectiveness, ingenuity, and aesthetics.

We are not zoological experts, but we try to bring the best and most correct information that we can.

I have so much information to share with you.

Would you like to guess at how long the Google Doc

is I'm looking at right now? I'll say five pages. You're too low. Oh, okay. Ten pages.

That was a little too high. This is a whopping seven pages. So I have a lot to share this week.

But first, a couple of housekeeping notes.

First of all, this weekend.

I'm sorry, I know this is super last minute for a lot of people.

But on Sunday, September 28th, we're putting together a little bird watching group.

We're going to go bird watching at Juanita Bay Park in Kirkland, which is just outside of Seattle.

So if you live in the Seattle area, I would love to see y'all.

More details about that will be posted on our Instagram.

So come check that out if you want to come birdwatching with us.

And the other thing I wanted to share is a really cool thing that a listener sent in.

This listener is named Poison Oak.

Says, hello, I'm a drag artist and poet based in Queens, New York.

I love your podcast.

And like you, find a great deal of inspiration from the natural world.
