"The strength of BirdCallsRadio is the fact that host Mardi Dickinson has such great knowledge of everything bird-related, and such a passionate interest in these topics. Whether she's talking to a birder, an ornithologist, a conservationist, an artist, or someone who's a combination of those elements, Mardi knows how to ask the questions that will lead to the most fascinating, in-depth discussions. For anyone who cares about birds, at any level, every episode of BirdCallsRadio is a source of unexpected insights and delights."~ Kenn Kaufman, Artist, Naturalist, Author of the Kaufman Field Series
“Bird watching has always been tribal. BirdCallsRadio gives voice of the tribe. Offering tribal members a forum from which to articulate their special take on birding. Great fun, great interviews and great orchestration by host Mardi Dickinson. By listening in, newer birders can tap into tribal wisdom that goes all the way back to the origin of bird study and keep up with new trends in birding, as well.” ~ Pete Dunne, New Jersey Audubon's Birding Ambassador, Author, Founder of the World Series of Birding
“Mardi’s passion and dedication to birds and the birding community shines through in each of the over 100 educational and informative interviews she has hosted on Bird Calls Radio. Mardi is also an advocate for the protection of birds and their habitat. I first got to know Mardi during the time that there were efforts underway to save my parents’ property in Arizona known as Paton’s Birder Haven. Mardi understood the importance of saving this birding mecca and went to work through social media and email campaign platforms to get the word out to as many people as possible. Thank you Mardi for your excellent programming over the years and for lending a hand to help save a birding legacy.” ~ Bonnie Paton Moon, Author, Journey Home
“Over the past several years Mardi Dickinson has assembled a veritable 'Who's Who' of birders, bird artists, bird scientists, bird conservationists, and other luminaries in one easily accessible place: Bird Calls Radio. Their collective experiences and stories are such a joy to peruse that you will not be able to stop after hearing just one." ~ Twan Leenders, President, Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History
“Imagine coming in from a morning of birding and having lunch with one of the most important and inspiring people in the field. Wouldn't that be great? You can have that experience over and over again with Mardi Dickinson's Bird Calls Radio. Fascinating people and interesting topics. Mardi's curiosity is insatiable, and she really knows what birders want to hear about. A great show!" ~ Kellye Rosenheim, Co-Author, Birdwatching in New York City and on Long Island
