Around these parts, he's known to spin a yarn that wraps around the block. Now, Naturalist Jim Anderson and longtime Source Weekly contributor sits down with us to talk about one of his favorite subjects: Birds—and how to help care for them.

Source videographer Darris Hurst met with Anderson at his home—social-distancing-approved style—to walk through the steps for making a good nesting box for pygmy owls.
