b'I had the opportunity to chat with Dr. Gu\\xf0mundur A. Gu\\xf0mundsson, who has a MSc and PhD degree in Ecology, and is a researcher at the Icelandic Institute of Natural History. During the interview you will hear me say Mummi when I speak to Dr. Gu\\xf0mundsson. It is a nickname commonly used in Iceland for men with the name Gu\\xf0mundur.
\\n
\\nSome of the topics I discussed with Mummi during our interview for the All Things Iceland podcast include the fascinating birds that can be found in Iceland, the connection between birds and Icelandic culture, and the best time to see birds migrating to the country. It was an enlightening conversation and I hope you enjoy listening to it.

\\n
\\n \\t* What sparked your interest in studying birds?
\\n \\t* What is your role at the Institute of Icelandic Natural History?
