In this episode of Busted Knees and Pretty Trees, Brad and Travy take their love for the outdoors on two very different adventures. Brad heads deep into the heart of Texas, chasing the calls of rare and beautiful birds across open prairies and quiet wetlands. From early morning songbirds to the dusty trails under a big southern sky, he dives into the rhythms of migration, the beauty of patience, and the joy of spotting life on the wing.

Meanwhile, Travy stays closer to home but no less wild — exploring the rugged hills and creek beds of southern Indiana in search of hidden gems. Rock hounding becomes more than just a hunt for stones; it’s a way of slowing down, of tuning into the subtle details that nature leaves behind for those who look close enough.

Together, their stories capture what Busted Knees and Pretty Trees is all about: the thrill of discovery, the quiet peace of the outdoors, and the shared appreciation for the places that shape us. Whether you’re into birds or rocks — or just love being outside — this episode will take you there.
