#Waterfowl
The Green Antler's waterfowl podcast began as a way to document the host's personal journey and is now recording its fifth season. Episodes sometimes include guests, poems, excerpts from books, policy discussions, and questions. The show also takes time to listen for the call of trumpeter swans and reflect on nature. Host Sarah Fowler shares a relaxed, personal take on waterfowl and conservation.
