55: Peg-billed Finch - Elusive bird from Costa Rica, Shannon and John's experience with them
A bird that not very many people have seen in the wild, but it turns out that Shannon and John have seen a lot of them. They are native to Costa Rica, and only come out when the bamboo is flowering - which is not very often. Hear all about Shannon and John's trip to Costa Rica and learn more about these amazing little birds.
We also answer a listener question on birds and government spies.
