Episode description

What lives in caves, uses echolocation to navigate through the air, and is nocturnal? Oilbirds! These birds are so interesting, and no they are not bats. John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, and Amanda Marquart discuss the Oilbird. This is a super wild one, so grab your night-vision binoculars and join us to learn more about the Oilbird.

We also answer a question about hummingbird nests. You can send us your questions at podcast.birdsofafeather@gmail.com

We'll be off for a couple weeks, but will be returning in mid-August with some brand new episodes.
