AN INTRODUCTION TO PATCH BIRDING
On this episode of Animal Matters, host Jeff Simmons is joined by Lindsay McNamara, founder of Beachy Birder Adventures, for a thoughtful conversation about patch birding—the practice of repeatedly observing birds in a single local place.
The discussion explores how patch birding builds skills, deepens connection to nature, supports conservation awareness, and offers mental-health benefits—especially in urban environments like New York City. Listener calls are welcome throughout the show.
