The Rime of The Ancient Murrelet................
Bob hops into his car and drives just under 200 miles round trip for the chance to see an incredibly rare wild bird. A somewhat penguin-like seabird called the Ancient Murrelet lives in the waters off Alaska. But one of them somehow made it to Lake Michigan and was spotted off the pier at Tiscornia Park in St. Joseph, Michigan. Only five have ever been seen in the state before. Does he or doesn’t he get to see it? Bob talks about the trip and also discusses the best guide to raising and keeping pet ducks he’s ever seen: Majestic Waterfowl Sanctuary Director Kimberly Link’s The Ultimate Pet Duck Guidebook. (Check out birder Robert Epstein’s photo of the Tiscornia Park Ancient Murrelet.)
