This week we are in Othello, WA where we will discuss the recent and heartbreaking double murder of Dora Elia and Guadalupe Martinez at the hands of someone they trusted. We also talk about the Sandhill Crane festival, Columbia National Wildlife Refuge and Jamie’s love of shore birds. Bird nerds unite! Ashley talks about how she fell down the stairs at work.

Trigger warning: their murder was very violent, there is a warning before we discuss the murder itself and if you choose to skip past it the end of that part of the conversation is at 27:30.
