Brandon and Eric make their radio debut, streaming live from the campus of Bowling Green State University. With BG in mind, Brandon crafted a little quiz for Eric that is fitting for the city that serves as the seat of Wood County Ohio. Listen in (or watch on Spotify) to see if you can match the Old Naturalist's score. Pictures provided by photographer and friend Brian Zwiebel were much appreciated.

Happy 2025 everybody. Brandon and the Old Naturalist are kicking off the new year with a tail from Africa. As a reminder, we'll be doing video podcasts this year so the best way to follow us will be on Spotify. Our Apple Podcast listeners will still be able to listen in, but you won't be able to see us...which is probably not all bad.

It all comes down to this. Will the Old Naturalist pass the quiz in our final episode of the year? Tune in for that and what the plan is for 2025. Thanks again to our friend Brian Zwiebel for the episode art. Happy New Year everybody!

Well the Christmas Bird Count season is in full swing, so the boys decided to have their pal Tom Kemp stop by to talk about one of our favorite counts: The Grand Rapids Waterville Christmas Bird Count. Learn about the history of what for many is a wonderful winter pastime.

The Old Naturalist dug up an old TNA publication he'd like to share with all of you! People tend to take for granted the great experiences that are right in their own backyard. Listen in to hear about some of the 111 places you should visit in the Toledo area.

If you live in Northwest Ohio and you're in to birds, there's a pretty good chance you've heard of Tom Kemp. Mr. Kemp has been birding in our area for well over a half century! He's kind of expert on any local bird species, but gulls are his specialty. With that in mind, Eric and Brandon decided to spring a pop quiz on their birding buddy.
