Wickenburg Trifecta: Birds, Bats and a Cool Town

In Episode 89, Rich takes us to Wickenburg, Arizona, for a day filled with birds, bats, and the unique character of a historic Arizona town. The episode begins with the search for the rare Louisiana Waterthrush spotted at Hassayampa River Preserve. From there, Rich heads to the Bats and Buzzards on the Bridge event, hosted by Arizona Game and Fish and Maricopa County Parks, where birds, bats, and the people who love them come together. For the Tales portion, Rich explores the town of Wickenburg and reflects on the simple joy of spending an entire day wandering, observing, and enjoying a place without having to rush through it. Sometimes the best adventures aren't about how far you travel—they're about taking the time to really experience where you are. Theme song composed and performed by Mike Myers.
