What do birding and board games have in common? More than you’d expect! Birder and game designer Elizabeth Hargrave has made it a mission to bring these two things together, and her bird-themed game Wingspan does just that. Wingspan has been covered in the New York Times, Smithsonian, and Science, among other venues, and has managed to elicit interest at a time when enthusiasm among the general public for both birding and board games are at an all-time high. Elizabeth joined host Nate Swick in 2019 to talk about both.
Also, the Philadelphia Eagles are getting in the bird conservation business, which opens up opportunities for all sorts of bird and professional sports crossovers.
