Bill and Ben enjoy and in-person chat from a hotel balcony overlooking the beach in Tybee Island after the Georgia Birding on My Mind Reader Rendezvous. Topics include rarities; the relationship between wet and dry sand and the color of plovers; beach-nesting birds; black skimmer bills; rusty blackbirds—and more. Eavesdrop on a conversation that includes “evolutionary cowboy,” “Starsky and Hutch,” and “ship assist.” Bill also offers some new music suggestions.
