Hello, friends. I have a real treat for you this week. There is a new podcast in town, and it is made by

the genius duo of birding musicians, Tommy Siegel and Billy Libby. Y'all might recognize Tommy

from his extremely accurate bird illustrations and comics, or from his music in my personal

favorite band of all time, Jukebox

the Ghost. A longtime listeners of our show might also remember his appearance on episode 153,

where we reviewed Sand Hill Cranes together. You may also recognize Billy from his music career,

like touring with Ingrid Michelson. Well, to my immeasurable delight and

honor, I got to team up with Tommy and Billy for the debut episodes of their brand new podcast,

extremely accurate bird songs, where they write and record and produce songs about every

bird. And they go real hard. The convergence of

their passion for nature with their just sheer musical talent is really something very special.

Plus, of course, they are hilarious and very fun to listen to. I'm overjoyed that I got to be a

part of it and I really wanted you all to hear it. So I'm posting this first episode here on our feed, and this one is on the Morning Dev.

If you've already heard this one, great news.

I'm on not just this one, but all three of their first episodes, the other two, are about

Gamble's Quail and the American Crow.

And those are all out now. And just as a

heads up while this one is clean, the other two episodes contain some adult language. So you can head

over to the extremely accurate bird songs podcast for more and follow along as they make

songs for every bird in the world.

This is only the beginning. Enjoy.

Two bird-loving rock and roll guys.
