On this impromptu, patched-together, mini episode, we present recordings in the moment: Mike McGraw, Billy, and Magnolia check out a Philadelphia black rat snake; Billy nerds out over urban short-headed garter snakes in Pittsburgh; and a red-tailed hawk picks up some squirrel takeout for lunch. Also Tony and Billy talk about the red squirrel that visited Tony’s office, Tony recounts a Bird Philly urban raptor walk with Christian Hunold, and Tony gets a promotion.
