It should be noted that this new hobby of mine is both rewarding and kind of frustrating. It is frustrating when I check my DVR and get to say, "Oh joy! An episode about bears/wolves/lions/apes/penguins/whales! What a unique subject!" (NOTE: Trish does not hate Charismatic Megafauna! Still, three weeks in a row of episodes about whales? Yeah...) But it is awesome when I check my DVR and get to see an episode like "Birds of the Gods", which is about the Birds of Paradise. How often do you get to see them in action or, more significantly, just hanging out and doing things less exotic birds have to do too?
So without further ado, here are sketches from "Cuba: The Accidental Eden" "Survivors of the Firestorm" , "Wild Balkans" (drink when they mention J.R.R. Tolkien), "The River of No Return", and "Birds of the Gods":
Important Addendum: It should be noted that the quality of the streaming episodes on PBS' website is... not good. I mean it's good *enough*, but not if you want to pause the show to do a more detailed study. Something to keep in mind.
