Today Nate and Evan sit down with Aerin Tedesco to talk everything BIG (in Evan's Monster Truck announcer voice). It's the beginning of migration, so we discuss early migrants at the top of the show. What are we seeing currently.First we discuss Aerin's county big year. Recently Aerin smashed the Champaign County big year record. Not only smashed it, but crushed it in 5 months. We sit down with her and talk about that adventure and see where she is at now. We also take bets on where she will be by the end of 2021.The second part of the BIG episode, is talking about the Big Sit. The Big Sit is a competition benefiting the Illinois Ornithological society where teams of 5 sit in a 20 foot circle to count as many species of birds as they can. Aerin gives us information how to enter a team and if you can't participate, please feel free to donate.

Welcome to Wild Diaries, the monthly roundup of wildlife sightings and happenings in the natural world from around the globe. Stop and think for a moment, just what is happening right now out there in those wild places you would love to visit? Welcome the Wildlife & Wilderness Travel & Safaris show, the world's first and only podcast on wildlife safaris worldwide and sustainable tourism. This show's for everyone interested in eco-tourism, travel in the natural world and adventures to our planet's wild places. I'm your host, Dr. Steve Banner, biologist and Director of the travel company, Wildlife & Wilderness, providing high quality holiday experiences to thousands of clients for almost 25 years. For our second monthly news I'm delighted to again host some of the owners of small camps and lodges, just a few of the many that we work with to provide you unique experiences. As I've said before our tailor made holidays are always guided by what interests you. If you are planning your future travels do check out our website at www.wildlifewilderness.com or contact us by email podcasts@wildlifewilderness.com First off, we hear from Fredrik at Aurora Safari Camp in Swedish Lapland. @ 01:58 Fredrik talks a little about his background and introduces us to his small glamping location in the heart of northern Sweden. He is a keen photographer and regularly sees the northern lights in Winter. Now is a change of season and they have been testing a new product for next winter – the only hot air ballooning in Lapland. Ballooning over Lapland by day and the northern lights at night. Incredible! @14:05 Tyrone talks from Musekese safari camp about their latest sightings including new lion cubs to strengthen the local pride, the return of the elephants as the African bush of Kafue National Park dries out and the bird life still present on the lagoon in from of camp. Tyrone and his business partner Phil have also launched their own podcast, inspired by the Wildlife & Wilderness Travel & Safaris show they now host The Elephant's in the Room! Check it out on your favourite podcast app. @19:25 Jehan has some very unusual visitors to Kanha National Park in India. We had a few issues with power cuts so we pick up his story again but you do not miss anything. Hopefully we'll pick up on the elephants in Kanha next time before the national park closes for the monsoon. On the other side of the world is Tim McGrady from Farewell Harbour Lodge who was with us on the last Episode talking about Bears & Whales in Canada. He's back with us with another recent story. @25:48 he tells of a mischievous bear that they catch and unusually move and release back into the wild. However, it does not have a happy ending although the lessons learnt will be valuable in the future for bear conservation in the Great Bear Rainforest of Canada's west coast. @35:16 Finally, we join Giuliano back in the Pantanal wetlands of Brazil where at Aymara Lodge a mother caiman is moving her babies, the jaguar still seems to like the road and Giuliano is planning The Big Sit 24h bird watching. We look forward to bringing you further updates from around the world next month. If you've enjoyed our podcasts so far do subscribe and share with friends interested in wildlife & wilderness.

Episode 49 is a special two-part episode of OTWTB. Bill and Ben have a heartfelt discussion about why 2019 is going to be a different kind of year for the podcast, and why it will be the "Year of the Big Sit" for Bill. Ben then welcomes Alvaro Jaramillo to the show, and we learn a bit more about this international man of mystery. Their conversation topics include the shifting nature of birding tourism and why you don't want to play chess in Antarctica. Hint: It's too cold!

The birding dudes cover a smorgasbord of topics here, including a recap of the recent American Birding Expo, birding during migration, upcoming festivals, The Big Sit™, and tips for your optics upgrade. They also celebrate, in the briefest possible way, Ben's birthday. This episode was recorded in two parts, one via Skype between Wisconsin and Ohio and one in person, live, in Cape May, New Jersey, during the Cape May Reader Rendezvous.

Through the magic of Skype the fellas hold down a conversation about rare birds, The Big Sit!, big sit strategy and rules, big years, world big years, and birding competitions. They also dip into the ornithological literature for a sidebar about male duck reproductive strategy. WARNING: Contains a short discussion of male duck genitalia.

Ben and Bill yak about birding Big Days, The Big Sit!, tips for a successful Big Sit!, musicality in birds, spring bird song, and the Rock & Roll Rendezvous. Plus Bill has another music recommendation.

Host Bill Thompson, III, interviews participants in the 2008 Big Sit! held in the birding tower on his farm, Indigo Hill, in southeastern Ohio.
