This podcast inspired me to learn more about birding and spend some time in the field with my binoculars! I hope there will be more episodes!

Really enjoyed Christopher Joe share his message of a love for birds and nature. I can’t wait to go on one of his tours.

Christa is a great teacher and her love for perds is contagious. In addition to the podcast, she provides additional resources to help newer birders build confidence, particularly around bird identification. I would definitely recommend this podcast to someone who is getting started with birding.

I’ve been getting into birding - like a lot of COVID shut-ins- for the last year or so. I’ve really only done any bird watching around my house. I’ve loved it but have felt oddly anxious about venturing further afield. This podcast is so clear and concise and useful that I finally feel like I have enough tools to try birding for real. I checked out a few other podcasts but found them to be not be relatable... some have podcasters who are clearly more interested in sounding like uber-subject matter experts than in education or entertainment. This is not that. It’s fun and practical and covers all sorts of interesting topics.

Just found Christa’s page and podcast. And as a beginning birder it could have come at a better time! Christa is SO down to earth and clear in her explanations. And her page and podcasts are EXTREMELY organized - notes, links, subject markers, etc. incredibly thorough. Looking forward to this birding journey with my new favorite podcast and site!

Very engaging, clear, on-topic, well-researched and presented in a friendly way. Listening to Christa on Birding Tools is like learning from a knowledgeable and kind birding friend. Highly recommended.
