This is the second part of Steve's conversation with author Douglas Carlson about his book, Roger Tory Peterson-A Biography.

They discuss Peterson's near-death experiences, his column in Bird Watchers Digest, his obsession with photography and his legacy at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute.

And, there's also a recording from Steve's back deck and a recommendation of some favorite websites.  Our thanks, once again, to Houghton-Mifflin, publishers of Roger Tory Peterson's Field Guide Series, for helping to make these programs possible.

In this edition I have a chance to sit down with Douglas Carlson, to discuss his new biography of Roger Tory Peterson.   There was no more important person to birding and the natural world than Peterson, whose field guide series, writing, painting and passion for birds is unparalleled.   Douglas Carlson does wonderful job of exploring Peterson's life, his passion and his legacy.  Our thanks to Houghton-Mifflin, publishers of Roger Tory Peterson's Field Guide Series, for helping to make these programs possible.

Also in this podcast, Turkey and Black Vultures have a feast....at my house.

Steve couldn't break away from the Space Coast Birding Conference.  This is the second of two shows featuring interviews from the conference.  Guests include Cameron Cox from Nikon; artist and naturalist Louise Zemaitis; Rich Downing from the American Birding Association; and Jay Davis, the designer of Bird Jam.  Steve also discusses important work ahead for those who are concerned about the proposed NASA launch pad in the Merritt Island NWR, and takes us back in time -- ever so briefly -- to 1969.
