Birding is about a lot more than spotting a bird and adding another checkmark to your life list! This week on Busted Knees and Pretty Trees, we're joined by Frank Izaguirre, Marketing and Communications Manager for the American Birding Association, to talk about the wonderful, sometimes complicated, and always fascinating world of Birding.

We discuss how social media is changing the way people discover birds, the importance of ethical wildlife observation, and whether birders have a responsibility to become conservation advocates.

We also dive into Frank's writing and field guide reviews, the challenges facing bird populations, the importance of official Birding rules, and one of the great birding debates. Does a bird count on your life list if you've only heard it and never seen it?

Whether you're a seasoned birder, a backyard birdwatcher, or someone who can't tell a robin from a redstart, there's something here for you!

We made it to 100 episodes of Busted Knees and Pretty Trees, and what better way to celebrate than with a trivia game night, a few drinks, and absolutely no guarantee of keeping things classy!

For this milestone episode, we brought in some special guests: my wife Ashley, Justin’s wife Taylor, and Justin himself. Apparently, they’ve all been claiming to listen to the podcast, so we figured it was time to put that claim to the test!

What followed was a night of trivia, friendly competition, questionable answers, plenty of laughs, and conversations that got a little more raunchy than your typical episode. But hey, there were drinks flowing, everyone was having a blast, and we were celebrating 100 episodes together!

Thanks to everyone who has listened, laughed along, and supported us over these first 100 episodes. Here's to many more!

Some movies entertain us. Others make us want to throw a backpack in the truck, hit the trail, and chase our own adventure.

This week on Busted Knees & Pretty Trees, Justin and Patrick sit down for a fun conversation about the outdoor films that have stuck with us over the years. The stories that inspired us, the moments we still talk about, and the movies that remind us why we love wild places in the first place.

Whether you're a hiker, paddler, camper, backpacker, or simply someone who loves a good adventure tale, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, friendly debate, and a whole lot of appreciation for the films that keep the outdoor spirit alive.

So, grab a camp chair, pour yourself a cup of trail coffee, and join us for a conversation that celebrates the intersection of storytelling, adventure, and the great outdoors.
