You may already know Dorian Anderson from his epic 2014 Biking for Birds adventure - 17830 miles over 365 days, through blizzards, heat waves and crazy drivers. The goal of this trip was to see as many bird species as possible (called a Big Year) in order to reset his life and simultaneously raise money and awareness for the environment and "green" ways to enjoy it.Dorian has a fascinating back story including a high stakes academic career including a post-doctorate at Massachusetts General and Harvard Medical School, a battle with alcoholism and drugs, an early love of nature, and is quite a photographer, too.This episode covers all of that and more, including Dorian's approach to risk taking and discussion of his upcoming projects.Find Dorian on Instagram and on his photography site.Music Credits:Opening: Fearless First by Kevin MacLoedClosing: Beauty Flow by Kevin MacLoedhttps://incompetech.filmmusic.io/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/naturesarchive)
