A Pedestrian Birder's Close Call- THE CAR TOOK FLIGHT
from Random Nature · host Christy Hyman, PhD
In this bonus episode, Christy is on her usual 45-minute walk to her favorite village coffee house when a car goes airborne right in front of her and disappears into a ravine— the motorist, his dog and all. She reflects on the cascade of fears that hit her in those few seconds, the divine and ancestral protection she feels carried her through, and what the whole terrifying experience revealed about the very real safety gaps facing birders and pedestrians on roads like Valley Road. Plus: shout-outs to the Joe Farm down in Alabama, Ithaca's planned greenway, and a handful of Finger Lakes birding spots worth knowing. Stay birdy, everyone.Linkshttps://southhillrecway.wordpress.com/https://www.connectingwithbirdsandnaturetours.com/https://www.fortbaptistfarm.com/
