The Nature Wanderer – Details, episodes & analysis

Thanks for wandering through nature with me. I decided this week to brave the cold temperatures and head out on the trails to a nature preserve on the edge of Buffalo, NY. The Tift Nature preserve is a gem in an urban environment. Join me as I discover birds, hawks, beaver signs, deer and much more in a place that most people don’t think of as having much nature.

Thanks for wandering through nature with me. Today I am bringing back an oldie. As the weather starts to get colder I always like to remind you about how to stay safe while hiking in the colder weather. I decided that last years Winter Hiking Safety covered everything that I wanted to cover this year, so I just resurrected the episode. Enjoy and keep safe on the trails.

Thanks for wandering through nature with me. In todays episode I will explore some of the mythology and stories that have given these beautiful, intelligent and playful birds the bad reputation that they have.
