Summary: To migrate or not to migrate? How do bats deal with cooling temperatures? Join Kiersten as she travels through bat migration.   For my hearing impaired listeners, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean   Show Notes:  “America's Neighborhood Bats,” by Merlin Tuttle “The Bats of Europe and north America,” by Wilfried Schooner and Eckard Grimmberger “Flying-Foxes - The bush refugees” by Martin Pueschel Backyard Bats Project: https://www.azgfd.com/wildlife-conservation/living-with-wildlife/backyard-bats-project/  Music written and performed by Katherine Camp Bats: Migration Transcript (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops) Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. The fifth thing I like about bats is migration. Yes! Bats do migrate, well some bats migrate. Have you ever wondered why you see bats in the spring and summer and not in the winter? Many microbats either migrate or hibernate, while megabats may migrate from area to area following the fruiting and flowering seasons. In this episode we will investigate the ways bats cope with colder weather in temperate regions or the non-fruiting season is tropical areas. Let's start with a quick definition of migration. Migration is a mass movement of living creatures from one area to another. It is often seen seasonally and can be influenced by available resources. Birds will migrate north in spring following available food resources and seeking optimum breeding grounds. They will migrate south again for the winter as the northern regions cool down diminishing food resources. Male tarantulas will migrate much shorter distances in fall searching for female mates. Bats that rely on insects can either migrate from northern regions to southern regions where the insects are still active in, or hibernate in place during the colder months of the year. The insectivorous bat species of North America choose one of these two options. The Mexican Free-tailed bat, one of the most plentiful species in southern United States, also known as the Brazilian Free-tailed Bat, is a migrator. They will spend the warmer parts of the year in the United States traveling as far north as Northern California all the way across the country to South Carolina. Here they hunt insects at night and roost in caves or bridge overpasses during the day. They travel and roost in huge colonies and some roosts can number in the millions. It's quite a sight to see them exit their roosts come sundown. If you are ever in an area where you can do this, do it. It is something you don't want to miss in your lifetime. Come colder temps in late fall when insect activity begins to slow, Mexican Free-tailed bats begin to depart. They are heading to Central and South America, following warmer temperatures. They will find caves and other enclosed spaces to spend their days until spring and summer roll around again when they will head north . The Big Brown Bat, another insectivorous species found in North America, is a permanent resident where it is found. And they are found all over North America from Mexico to the northern border of some Canadian provinces. They are much more tolerant of colder temperatures and will hibernate as opposed to migrate. As insect activity wanes they will search for secure hibernating structures. We call these hibernaculums, and Big Brown Bats are not terribly picky. When I was researching my thesis, I found Big Brown Bats in the cave where I filmed the Tri-colored Bats. They were much closer to the entrance of the cave where temperatures were colder and less humid than the interior where the Tri-coloreds where found. Big Browns will hibernate in groups, small or large, or as individuals in caves, abandoned or little used buildings, attics, walls, even under tree bark. They are generalists that are quite adaptable to their environment, which is why they are one of the most widespread bats in North America. Not all migrators are insectivorous bats. The Lesser Long-nosed Bat migrates from southern Mexico to the Southwestern states of the US. They are nectar eaters and they follow the blooming flowers. They don't come up too far into the United States but they love the flowering cactus and agave plants of the lower desert regions. They come up just after the rainy season in spring that jumpstarts the blooming season in the desert. There is actually a Community Science Project called Backyard Bats that is ongoing in Arizona with the Arizona Game and Fish Department. This project asks you to monitor your hummingbird feeders overnight to determine if nectar is going down during the night. If it is you may have visiting bats! For those of you in Arizona, I will leave a link in the show notes so you can participate in this project. European bats have similar choices when dealing with changing temperatures. The Lesser Horseshoe Bat found in Europe is a permanent resident where they are found. They utilize hibernaculums in the winter and separate roosts in the warmer months. So, we could consider them short distance migrators. They travel only about 5 to 10 kilometers or 3 to 6 miles between the different sites. They are active during peak insect activity. The Greater Mouse-eared Bat, an insectivorous bat found in Central Europe, is classified as a partial migrant. Partial migrants fly over 100 kilometers, or 62 miles, from winter to spring roosts.  What about fruit-eating bats that don't have to worry about changing seasonal temperatures? They migrate. They don't migrate as far as some of our insectivorous friends in North America, but they still travel following food. They are a bit more like permanent residents because they stay in the same region, but they travel around that region following the blooms and fruits in trees. Most will roost together so you can see large groups of bats flying through the sky searching for ripening fruits. This movement is impacted by available food and also by the rainy season. To migrate or not to migrate? Another amazing adaptation that makes bats even more fascinating. Thanks for traveling with me through this episode because my fifth favorite thing about bats is migration.   If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.    Join me next week for another episode about bats!   (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

The surprising season of West Virginia's basketball team continues to produce even more surprises. On Monday, WVU was ranked in the Top-25 for the first time this season.  That's an amazing accomplishment for a team that did not return a single player from last season's squad. Saturday's win over Oklahoma State was another example of tenacious defense and timely shooting.  Next up, a rematch with the Arizona Wildcats.  West Virginia defeated Arizona in overtime in a non-conference game in November.  This one will count and the 'Cats will be looking for revenge. In this episode, the "Guys" breakdown the analytics to Saturday's win and preview Tuesday's game. Listener questions and comments complete the show. 

Neil Meyer, JT Smith and Alex Meacham recap Kansas State and preview Arizona.

On November 25th a coalition of extreme anti-hunting advocates (Center for Biological Diversity, Sierra Club Grand Canyon Chapter, Mountain Lion Foundation, WildEarth Guardians, Lobos of the Southwest, and Wildlife for All) petitioned the Arizona Game and Fish Commission to ban the use of dogs to hunt mountain lions, bobcats, black bears, foxes, coyotes, raccoons, otters, beavers, coatis, ringtails, squirrels, and rabbits. Although the commission may be obligated to put the request on their agenda, they are not obligated to vote one way or the other on it. These extreme advocate groups have used similar tactics in other western states, beginning with efforts at the commission level that lay the groundwork for a public ballot initiative like we saw this year in Colorado Go to Howl For Wildlife to find out more and how to get involved 

On today's newscast: Arizona could resume executions as soon as early next year, conservation groups have petitioned the Arizona Game and Fish Commission to ban the use of dog packs to hunt wildlife, water conservation measures are again in place on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon after a pipeline break, support for Republican Donald Trump grew broadly across the state in comparison to when he last sought the presidency, and more.

On today's newscast: KNAU's Adrian Skabelund reports from VP candidate Tim Waltz's appearance in Window Rock, disaster relief is extended to Havasupai Tribe and members in the wake of August flash flooding, Hualapai Tribal Chairman comments on President Biden's recent apology to Native Americans for the US governments role in boarding schools which sought to eradicate Native cultures, Arizona Game and Fish asks hunters to avoid lead ammo to help protect California Condors.

The second open date on the West Virginia University football schedule arrives at just the right time.  WVU is banged and bruised, but buoyed by a win Saturday night at Arizona. The victory snaps a two-game skid, and sends the Mountaineers into the final month of the regular season with a boost of confidence. In this episode, the "Guys" discuss the key plays in the victory and reveal the analytics that paved the way to victory. Listener questions and comments complete the episode. 3 Guys returns Thursday with a preview of the WVU basketball season opener.

The West Virginia football team is hoping that a road trip will shake them from their current funk. After losing two straight at home, the Mountaineers play their first ever Big 12 game against Arizona on Saturday afternoon. Both teams have failed to reach their preseason expectations and are dealing with significant injuries. The Mountaineers could be without quarterback Garrett Greene and left tackle Wyatt Milum.  Running back Jaheim White is also questionable after missing the second half of last week's loss to Kansas State. In this episode, the "Guys" dive deep into the numbers to reveal what it will take for a Mountaineer victory. Listener questions and comments complete the show.  

On this episode, Paul chats with Jim Devos and Jim Heffelfinger from Arizona Game and Fish.

JJ & Alex are joined by Utah running back Micah Bernard who is pulling away as the Utes best running back on the roster. He talks about his big performance against Oklahoma State and the upcoming game against Arizona.

Returning guest (and Arizona Game and Fish Commissioner) James "Jim" Goughnour joins to discuss another controversial March decision by the AZGFC to reject all three remaining big game auction tags in Arizona (mule deer, elk and sheep) in favor of a more competitive, raffle-esque allocation system in order to give ‘Joe Six Pack' - or the common man - a real shot at hunting desert sheep. You would have seen conversations about this, emails about this, and wondered if this is actually a good thing or a bad thing. Robbie and Jim get into the nitty grittty of the decision, whether there will be a "told-you so" moment in the future, and whether in this case, bold decisions yields great benefits for wildlife and hunters.

This week, we discuss how the Arizona Game and Fish Commission just voted to cancel its auction permits, which had previously raised millions of dollars for conservation. In addition to that, we touch on a few headlines and legislative updates. In Montana, a bill from the last legislative session is still in the air. SB442 is in headlines again, as the mail-out ballots are being sent out to determine whether the Governor's veto can be overridden. The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership recently published some highlights and disappointments of recent congressional appropriations from the perspective of hunters and anglers. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Boone and Crocket Club's respective CEOs, Kyle Weaver and Tony Schoonen, recently wrote a joint op-ed in which they discussed their frustrations with environmental groups blocking forest management.

Jim Heffelfinger, Arizona Game and Fish Wildlife Science Co-ordinator, Chairman of the Mule Deer Working Group, wildlife conservation professional, author of Deer of the Southwest. Coming at you live from the 2024 Mule Deer Expo in Salt Lake City, Hal catches up with one of America's rockstars of wildlife conservation and research, Arizona's Jim Heffelfinger. The conversation roams and wanders, from mule deer and blacktails, habitat and CWD, to Mexican wolves and hunting javelina, with a side trip into the mystique and glory of the Colt 1911. If you have half as much fun listening to it as Jim and Hal had recording it, this episode will rank among the best ever. Also, this episode celebrates the publication of the comprehensive textbook, Ecology and Management of Blacktailed and Mule Deer of North America, which Jim co-edited. Hal and Jim forgot to talk about the book, but it is a crucial resource for anyone interested in the current state and likely future of our mule deer and blacktails.

This week, we are discussing putting more animals on the mountain, with bighorn sheep in Montana as the main example. We will also briefly cover the following headlines. In Kentucky, a bill has passed out of Committee and to the Senate that could have significant consequences for the Kentucky Department of Wildlife Resources and, ultimately, the hunters and anglers in the state. The Arizona Game and Fish Commission is meeting today and potentially voting on whether or not to do away with their conservation permits. In Wyoming, the Game and Fish Commission just voted unanimously to pursue establishing protections for a pronghorn migration corridor. In Idaho, an effort has been made to pass a bill that would end the Open Fields Doctrine for conservation officers. This would essentially make it illegal for a game warden to check licenses or harvested animals on private land without a warrant. In Arizona, the Nature Conservancy recently received an 11.5 million dollar grant to purchase conservation easements in the Upper Verde River Watershed and Big Chino Grasslands.

Hunting the Ribeye in the Sky with John Odell Show Notes:   John Odell joins me to chat about hunting the ribeye in the sky, also known as the sandhill crane. I drew a tag for the first time this year, so selfishly, I want to find out all about it. John was a wildlife biologist for Arizona Game and Fish for 17 years. He worked in the small game program, and last year, he felt a calling to leave the department to move to Buenos Aires, Argentina, for about eight months. There, he learned some Spanish and spent some time at a culinary school.   John's back in the States now, and he's currently cooking at the El Tovar restaurant in the Grand Canyon. Hunting and food go hand in hand, and now John gets to explore both of his passions. John and I get into the history of the culinary world of wild game, and he shares some of his experiences from around the world. We also talk about the history of conservation in America and people's perspectives on hunting today.   Next, we get into sandhill crane hunting. They're the oldest bird in the fossil record that's remained unchanged, and they're really a sight to see. John runs through some of their stats, characteristics, and behavioral traits and shares a little about how the species has changed over time. John also shares hunting tips, including which type of sandhill crane is best to eat, insights into how these birds move around, the best hunting tactics, decoys and calls, and more.    What's Inside:   A chat about wild game culinary and conservation history Characteristics and behavioral traits of sandhill cranes John's go-to calls for sandhill crane hunting   Mentioned in this episode Days In The Wild Podcast Phoenix Shooting Bags save 20% with code johnstallone Howl for Wildlife: https://www.howlforwildlife.org/ Short Description: John Odell joins me to chat about hunting the ribeye in the sky, also known as the sandhill crane.

We are blessed in Arizona to have ample public lands to support wildlife and wildlife habitat. Still, challenges persist in regards to habitat fragmentation from roadways and energy transmission. Listen in with Arizona Game and Fish Department's Statewide Connectivity Biologist, Jeff Gagnon, and discover some of the science behind wildlife migrations and how we are working to mitigate the impacts of a growing and changing state.   https://azwildlife.org/

The Mogollon Rim in northcentral Arizona is a geological landform that spans around 200 miles east to west, demarking the southern boundary of the Colorado Plateau in the state.  This topographical feature is classified as an escarpment where wide and steeply sloping cliffs and rock masses delineate the high pine-covered plateau on the northern side, which receives cold winter temperatures and light snow from the desert-like conditions below to the south.  This transitional nature provides a habitat for significantly varying types of plants and animals.  Perhaps because of Mogollon Rim's liminal nature, this variance is claimed by many to also extend to creatures and phenomena that dwell beyond our understanding.  Accounts and legends of UFOs, supernatural occurrences, and even its own brand of a hominin-like beast known as the “Mogollon Monster” are familiar to the territory.  The supernatural element became all too real for our guest, Jay, who endured a terrifying encounter while working as a wildlife biologist for the Arizona Game and Fish Department.  While studying black bears in the rugged canyons and terrain of the Rim, Jay encountered an impossible stranger in a pretty unlikely place, one that insisted on getting a ride.  But who or what was this thing, and what was their intention?  An ancient spirit known to the Native American cultures of the region or a physical being with mystical powers masquerading as a weird human?  While it is never advisable to pick up strangers, it seems that one may be compelled to give a ride to a hitchhiker on Mogollon Rim, maybe as just a playful reminder that humans are not the apex of the paranormal food chain.

(4:50) • 31 years later [in my marriage] here I am Commissioner for Arizona Game & Fish; sitting on the executive committee of NRA Women's Leadership Forum; I sit on the Arizona Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation Board, I'm involved with the Women's Outdoor Media Association, supporting foundation for women warriors. I do a lot of hunting with wounded warriors and females from that group and do a lot of outdoor experiences for all associations here in Arizona. (7:44). • 50% of gun sales have been new gun sales to women. I think it's fantastic, but you gotta get training, and once you get training, you can't get stale, you have to keep training. (9:28) • When you [Melanie] and Deb and I started the She Never Quit down at your beautiful ranch in Texas, we had women who had never seen a gun. To teach them not only how to shoot, but the safety behind it is critically important. (9:43) • A woman came up and she says “We just have to get rid of all these guns in the world.” I said so what you're saying is I don't have the right to keep myself safe, is that what I'm hearing you say? “Well no, that's not what I mean.” Well that's what you're saying when you say that. (12:03) • Some people will never have an open mind. (16:12) • There's some people that just will not, and won't know, and don't know how to listen. (16:23) • {Marcus] “You know how bad I wanna fly the space Shuttle?” (17:01) • You teach the woman, you teach the family (18:40) • Kids don't understand the consequence of doing something anymore. And there's no core of morality it seems to me. (22:08) • [Melanie] Our leaders act like divorced husband and wife; they argue in front of us, whether that's our President or Congress. (23:14) • How do you teach the parents and the teachers how they're basically ruining these kids' lives? Where do we start? (24:34) • We make contracts through Arizona Game & Fish with the ranchers, and we will go out and take out the barbed wire on the fence and put in smooth wire 18” high because the Pronghorn actually go under a fence. They rarely will go over a fence. (27:35) • [Marcus] Humans, by nature, like to see things get destroyed & beat up. (37:44)

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette are back in studio talking about how the Trojans are undefeated and scoring 40+ points a game, but still have major questions on the defensive side of the ball. After coming out of the game early in the San Jose State, Nevada and Stanford games, quarterback Caleb Williams has had to play until the final whistle on the road at ASU and Colorado because the USC defense hasn't been able to get stops late in the game. We've heard from head coach Lincoln Riley and defensive coordinator Alex Grinch following Tuesday's practice and both coaches addressed the Trojans defensive issues in the second half in Boulder. The guys talk about what the Riley, Grinch and the defensive players had to say about the shortcomings of the defense and the challenges they will face against an very potent Arizona offense. Riley said the focus this week has been on two fronts, tackling better on the perimeter and keeping the quarterback in the pocket. They also talk about the player rotation on the defensive side of the ball including what Riley said about inside linebacker Eric Gentry slowing working his way back into the rotation following his injuries and time away from the field. On the injury front they talk about safety Max Williams and wide receiver Zachariah Branch missing the Colorado game but being on track to play against Arizona according to Riley.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 15, 2023 is: nexus • NEK-sus • noun A nexus is a relationship or connection between people or things. // Her final research paper for her pedagogy class highlighted the nexus between teachers and students. See the entry > Examples: “Darren Tucker, a field supervisor with Arizona Game and Fish, said that the last known fatal bear attack in Arizona happened in 2011 in the Pinetop area, further adding to the ‘extremely uncommon' nature of the attack, stating that it seemed ‘predatory in nature.' ‘We didn't see any obvious attractants. The location and the surrounding residencies looked pretty tidy,' Tucker told reporters. ‘However, typically, nine times out of ten when we have wildlife-human conflict there is some nexus to food.'” — Kye Graves, USA Today, 16 June 2023 Did you know? If you're unfamiliar with the word nexus, the popular, long-running video game series The Legend of Zelda may provide an object lesson in its several definitions (and if you're unfamiliar with the games, we will explain). When nexus came into English in the 17th century, it meant “connection” or “link.” Eventually, people began using it to refer to a connected group or series of things, as in “a nexus of relationships.” In recent decades it has taken on a third meaning: “center” or “hub,” perhaps from the notion that a point in the center of an arrangement serves to join together the objects that surround it. Now, one might plausibly say that the 20 Zelda games (not counting remakes and spin-offs) themselves form a nexus, as each represents an installment in a long, twisty saga with numerous echoes and callbacks to other games in the series. Most of these feature the fictional land of Hyrule, which often presents magical nexuses to shadowy alternate dimensions (1991's A Link to the Past), the past (2011's Skyward Sword), or the underworld (2023's Tears of the Kingdom) that the hero, Link (ahem) must traverse. As for nexus's third meaning, Hyrule's map is nearly always situated around a central nexus, or hub, in the form of the castle where the titular Zelda lives.

It doesn't always go as planned Kia and Talon Philips at the Arizona Hunt Expo Show Notes:   I caught up with Kia and Talon Phillips at the Arizona Hunt Expo, which is put on by Arizona Game and Fish. It was a pretty big turnout, and I'm pleasantly surprised. The last time I attended was during the pre-Covid days, and it definitely wasn't as big as it was this year. Stieg Phillips, who owns Muley Maniacs, is Kia and Talon's brother and I got the chance to interview him in a recent episode. Kia just started an outdoor gear business called AK Lloyd, and she's working on some cool products. They're getting ready to come out with a USB-heated sleeping bag/bed roll, so stay tuned.    Kia and Talon share with me some hunts that had some unfortunate events and show the not so pretty side of hunting and how at times the emotions and adrenaline make us make rash decisions.    Kia and Talon both had some pretty awesome hunts last year. Kia's hunt was up first at the end of October. She had a muzzleloader elk tag in Nevada, and they saw a lot of really good bulls when scouting. Her husband convinced her to put in for the hunt because it went into the rut a bit. They watched one bull in particular and decided to go after him at the end of the hunt. With the help of a couple of friends and a little luck, they got the job done.   Next, we get into Talon's hunt, which was a day or two after Kia's. He scouted throughout Kia's hunt but didn't see anything decent. However, a friend of theirs spotted another bull across a valley, and they decided to check it out at night. Eventually, they spotted him again and he got set up. Talon hit him in the shoulder on the first shot with a 28 Nosler. All hell broke loose after that and Talon shares the story of how he wound up finally getting him down. What's Inside:   Info about Kia's new company, AK Lloyd. Stories from Kia's elk hunt in Nevada. Stories from Talon's hunt and how he got his bull.   Mentioned in this episode Days In The Wild Podcast Phoenix Shooting Bags save 20% with code johnstallone Howl for Wildlife: https://www.howlforwildlife.org/ A.K.Lloyd Outdoor Gear   Short Description: I caught up with Kia and Talon Phillips at the Arizona Hunt Expo.

Wisconsin voters on Tuesday will decide the whether the state Supreme Court will have a conservative or liberal majority. The outcome will likely determine abortion access, election law and whether a heavily-Republican gerrymandered map will remain in place. WUWM news reporter Chuck Quirmbach joins us. And, journalist Brian Stelter talks about how the media is covering the first-ever indictment of a former president. Then, the Arizona Game and Fish Department started its annual desert tortoise adoption program this week. More than 300 animals are available this year, mostly because people illegally breed them at home. Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd met a few of the reptiles to learn how they adapt to the harsh desert climate and why the population of some species has dropped rapidly in recent years.
