About this episode

This episode highlights the Rufous-sided Gerygone, a lesser-known bird species deserving of appreciation.

In each Random Bird Thursday (RBT) episode, the goal is to highlight a bird species that probably isn't going to get featured in a full-length podcast episode. These are birds we might overlook, even though they certainly deserve some appreciation and attention. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ⚠️ SPOILER ALERT! The featured species in this episode is the Rufous-sided Gerygone (Gerygone dorsalis). Sound Citations: Colin Trainor, XC138529. Accessible at www.xeno-canto.org/138529. Support the show
