This is the second of three special episodes. Now, if you already listened to the first one, you can skip this part and just get right to the birds. If you haven’t listened to the first episode, the Western Grebe, yet, you’ve got some homework! I’ll still fill you in on what this is all about either way. These three episodes, each a little shorter than normal, I will be releasing in the next week. These episodes are from my performance and collaboration with Jack Magauhey. They will cover 3 totally new and different birds that I’ve never talked about before. In each episode, we will learn about a bird and then listen to a piece of music inspired by that bird. This suite, Feathered Friends of Fern Ridge, was written by Jack Magauhey and I’m really excited to talk about the birds and hear his music. I hope you enjoy it! The second episode is all about the California Scrub Jay, so let's learn all about this awesome bird. 

Check out some pictures of the birds mentioned in the episode
