Naturally Adventurous

Charley and Ken chat about field recording of natural sounds, birds in particular. It's an even more esoteric discipline than more typical birding! But it can be highly rewarding. This discussion is a good portal into a variety of related topics.  If you wish to support this podcast, please visit our Patreon page at: https://www.patreon.com/naturallyadventurous?fan_landing=true Feel free to contact us at: ken.behrens@gmail.com or cfchesse@gmail.com Naturally Adventurous Podcast Travel Nature Adventure Birding

Ken chats with Forest Jarvis, an American who has made his home in the Philippines. For this week's episode, Forest tells five great stories about his adventures in pursuit of birds all over the Philippines. Want to hear about his using a thermal night vision scope to keep tabs on a half-naked drunk guy who was following him as he pursued a rare and spooky-sounding endemic owl? Give this episode a listen! You can follow Forest's adventures on his blog: https://forest-jarvis.blogspot.com or on Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/forest.jarvis Forest is happy to provide advice to birders thinking of visiting the Philippines.

Ken chats with Forest Jarvis, an American who has made his home in the Philippines. This week's episode is something of an introduction to this country that we haven't previously discussed much on the podcast. We wrap up the episode with the first of six tales of Philippine birding adventures, a taste of what's to come next week, in the second part of this interview.  You can follow Forest's adventures on his blog: https://forest-jarvis.blogspot.com or on Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/forest.jarvis Forest is happy to provide advice to birders thinking of visiting the Philippines.  Photo gallery for this episode: https://www.ken-behrens.com/podcast-photo-gallery/naturally-adventurous---season-3---episode-14---photo-gallery Map for this episode: https://goo.gl/maps/ZeReQt35xpx5khjY9 If you wish to support this podcast, please visit our patreon page at: https://www.patreon.com/naturallyadventurous?fan_landing=true Philppine Coucal recording courtesy of Jelle Scharringa, XC605488.

Ken chats with good friend of the podcast Julian Hough, in a followup episode to the Charley-and-Ken driving episode of a few weeks ago. Listening to that episode prompted a bunch of memories in Julian, some good, and some downright terrifying. Some of these stories sounded so good that we had to have him back on the podcast to tell them. Hear about how Julian almost met his end in a driving Molotov cocktail after a 5-day trek across India and Nepal on public transport!
