About this episode
BirdNote Daily is a two-minute show that takes a lot more than two minutes to create. Each episode weaves together an informative script, lively narration, immersive sound design, and our catchy theme song. BirdNote Daily is not just about one element, it’s many things working together that makes it great. The same is true for BirdNote funding, which makes the show possible. It’s not about what any one person does, it’s all of us giving what we can to support BirdNote’s mission. This week, we are asking you to keep BirdNote on the air by making a donation now.

BirdNote Daily — Making BirdNote. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
This is BirdNode. I'm Senior Producer Mark Bramhill. It's fundraising week, and we're asking you to join the flock as a recurring monthly donor at BirdNode.org. As Senior Producer, I have the pleasure of working on every episode of BirdNode, and while it's a two-minute show, it takes a lot more than two minutes to create. We record with a narrator, even if you had feathers, lightweight bones, and powerful wings, you would still lack something essential to flying like a bird. I search for the perfect bird calls and songs. Hmm, not that one. There it is. I take those elements the theme song and weave them into a sound-rich episode. The highly efficient breathing anatomy that powers the exertion of flight. BirdNode is not just one thing. It's many things working together that makes it great.
The same is true for BirdNode funding, which makes the show possible. It's not about what any one person does. It's all of us giving what we can to support BirdNode's mission. And when you give a monthly gift of five, ten, or twenty dollars, you're helping us get closer to reaching our goal of one thousand recurring donors that sustain the work each month. Make your recurring donation now at BirdNode.org. And as a special thank you, we'll send you a Birds of BirdNode wall calendar. For BirdNode, I'm Mark Bramhill. Hey BirdNode fan, Johnny Franklin here, BirdNode's content director. You're invited to join us and K-H-O-L Jackson Hole's community radio station for a special evening of storytelling, science, and conservation with New York Times best-selling authors Christian Cooper and Jennifer Anchorman, moderated by me. It's all happening on Thursday, October 1st in beautiful Jackson Hole
Wyoming. Learn more and get tickets at jhcenterforthearts.org. That's jhcenterforthearts.org.
