When a soaring Short-toed Snake-Eagle spots a delicious snake, it swoops down, grabs it with its talons, then tears off the snake's head. Still on the wing, it swallows the entire snake, head first. Smaller than Bald Eagles, they live mainly in Africa and have legs and toes covered in thick scales to protect them from bites. Snake-Eagles take on some of the swiftest and deadliest snakes in the world, like cobras and black mambas.

Annie celebrates America's 250th with the ultimate patriotic story: the bald eagle's miraculous comeback. Roger Holloway, Executive Director of the World Bird Sanctuary, joins to detail how the national symbol went from just 400 nesting pairs in the lower 48 in 1972 to over 10,000 today—and from 1-2 pairs in Missouri in the early 1980s to more than 600 nesting pairs now. DDT ban, captive breeding, public awareness, mating for life, and Guinness World Record nests are all covered. Later, Sue Thomas joins Ethan for X's and Y's—men vs women on cabinet doors, urinals, mansplaining, and more. Perfect feel-good, fun, and informative close to the show.
In this full episode of The Annie Frey Show, Annie delivers straight-talking conservative analysis on the day's biggest stories: six major primaries including the high-stakes Trump-backed challenge to Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky, President Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in Texas, and what it means for the America First agenda. Kayleigh McEnany joins to break down the necessity of President Trump's new White House ballroom (security, legacy, and the assassination attempt at the Correspondents' Dinner), Spencer Pratt's authentic shot at becoming LA mayor, and why Republican voters demand fighters over “canned mannequin politicians.” JD Vance takes the podium for a White House briefing on Iran negotiations (“locked and loaded”), the Anti-Fraud Task Force recovering billions, and the new lawfare compensation fund. Stuie (the Bagel Loan Guy) explains his game-changing 1% lower mortgage rate program for the first year and why now is the time to buy before prices explode. Roger Holloway, Executive Director of the World Bird Sanctuary, shares the stunning bald eagle recovery story—from near extinction (400 nesting pairs in 1972) to over 10,000 pairs nationwide and 600+ in Missouri alone—perfect timing for America's 250th birthday. Plus X's & Y's with Sue Thomas, the Main Street economy poll, and more.

World Bird Sanctuary Executive Director Roger Holloway explains how the bald eagle went from just 400 nesting pairs in the lower 48 states in 1972 to over 10,000 today — and in Missouri alone, from 1-2 pairs in the early 1980s to more than 600 nesting pairs now. Roger breaks down the DDT ban, captive breeding, public awareness, why they mate for life, build massive nests (Guinness World Record size), and their intelligence as top predators. Plus, the surprising Benjamin Franklin turkey debate and what makes the bald eagle the perfect national symbol.

Then Ed Hahn from the National Eagle Center joins the program to talk about the U.S. Postal Service first-day-of-issue event happening on May 14 at the Eagle Center in Wabasha. Brad Gausman, executive director of the Minnesota Wildlife Federation, jumps into the program to discuss an action alert his organization sent out this last week urging state sportsmen and women to contact their legislators and urge quick passage of the Outdoor Heritage Fund bill at the State Capitol – $191 million in dedicated outdoors funds is on the line. Lesmeister and Drieslein circle back with chatter on a crossbows officially being permanent during the archery deer season, 13 counties deciding to go shotgun-only for deer hunting, and when beavers attack in New Jersey.

Peer into the world of birds, and eyes of many different colors peer back. While eye color isn't tied to one group of birds or another, a common pattern is a change in eye color as immature birds grow to adulthood. Bald Eagles, Ring-billed Gulls, and ducks such as goldeneyes and scaup have brown eyes as youngsters, and yellow eyes as adults. Red-tailed Hawks reverse this pattern, with their eyes changing from yellow to brown. And the yellow eyes of a young Cooper's Hawk, pictured here on the right, turn deep red as they reach maturity.

In this inspiring episode of Big Blend Radio's “Nature Connection” Show, we're joined by acclaimed author, ornithologist, and conservationist Scott Weidensaul to discuss his powerful new book, "The Return of the Oystercatcher: Saving Birds to Save the Planet" (W. W. Norton & Company, April 21, 2026). Listen as Scott shares compelling stories of bird recovery, global conservation efforts, and the surprising ways birds reveal the health of our planet. From the shores of Great Slave Lake to the forests of Kittatinny Ridge, the mountains of Southern Carpathians, and the islands of Kauaʻi, this conversation explores how science, Indigenous stewardship, and community action are driving meaningful environmental change. While North America has lost nearly one-third of its birds since 1970, there is hope. Waterfowl populations have surged, raptors are rebounding, and conservation success stories—from the Bald Eagle to the American Oystercatcher—prove that focused efforts can make a difference. In this episode, we discuss: Why some bird species are recovering while others decline How conservation supports climate resilience The critical role of Indigenous-led land stewardship Simple, everyday actions that help protect birds

Two eagles locking talons high above the ground might look like they're risking injury, but it's a normal courtship behavior called the “cartwheel display.” Fully entangled, the two birds begin spinning to the earth, disengaging just before they smack the ground. Their clasp could last for hours. At last, the eagles unlock talons and fly off. Rival adults sometimes perform the same flight.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

A pair of Bald Eagles will reuse their nest each year and repair it with new tree branches. But recently in British Columbia, scientists came across an eagle nest made largely out of dried kelp. Back in the ‘90s, that very nest had been made out of tree branches. What changed? Sea Otters were reintroduced to the landscape, which helped kelp forests flourish — and occasionally wind up in an eagle's nest.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

There may be no other person in Northern California more in touch with the behavior of wildlife than the award-winning nature photographer Randy Robbins. Based in Susanville, Robbins' images of bald eagles, mountain lions, bears, bobcats, foxes, and hundreds of other species have helped both the public, and wildlife biologists, better understand the animals in our own backyards that we never see. Robbins snapped the very first high resolution photo of a Lassen Pack Wolf in 2021 in the ashes of the Dixie Fire, captured the first known image of the rare and endangered Sierra Nevada Red Fox and was the first photographer to ever be awarded by the Natural History Museum of London for an iPhone image. Robbins' photos have been featured in media outlets worldwide, winning dozens of prestigious awards in only seven years of work. In Episode 76, we chat with Robbins at his Susanville photo gallery – A Thousand Windows – about his path to being a wildlife photographer, his relationship to God, both as a pastor and an outdoorsman, and the public criticisms he faces from all sides for simply capturing beautiful portraits of animals in the wild. 2:50 – PowBot and Trail Whisperer photograph wildlife.4:50 – Recording from Susanville, California, riding the Bizz Johnson Trail.6:25 – Introducing Randy Robbins, award-winning wildlife photographer and trails advocate for Susanville Area Bicycling Association.8:30 – California Wildlife Photo of the Year Award - Bald Eagle called “Fly Fishing”.10:00 – Natural History Museum of London Wildlife Photographer of the Year – “Full Circle”.10:50 – Getting the very first high resolution photo of the Lassen Pack Wolf.15:00 – 800 Main Street, Susanville, California originally built in 1901, now home to A Thousand Windows – Randy Robbins' photography gallery.18:50 – A Thousand Windows – a John Muir quote.20:00 – Randy is a former teacher and part-time pastor at a Christian church.21:30 – What's the difference between finding God in the outdoors and finding it in church?23:25 – How has your photography influenced your faith?25:00 – After 2 years, getting a camera trap image of the Lassen Pack Wolf after the Dixie Fire.26:00 – The patience required to be a good photographer27:10 – Taking 3 years to get a photo of the endangered Sierra Nevada Red Fox.30:00 – Lassen Volcanic National Park as a habitat for wildlife, and getting a permit to photograph in a National Park.32:20 – Social media influencers, YouTubers and filming permits in National Parks.35:30 – How did Randy get into photography?39:25 – The highs and lows of social media, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook in promotion.43:35 – Dealing with the haters on social media.44:50 – Is taking a photograph of an animal compromising the animal's habitat?48:45 – Do animals like trails?50:10 – Winning a Natural History Museum of London award for taking an iPhone photo, and then being criticized for it.54:05 – Setting up an effective camera trap in the forest.58:00 – Waiting in the woods for hours, days sometimes years before getting the right shot.1:00:00 – Getting the award winning Bald Eagle shot in a kayak on Antelope Lake.1:04:00 – The wolf discussion – Is the reintroduction of wolves in California good or bad? 1:08:25 – The criticisms Randy receives for simply taking a photo of a wolf.1:11:45 – The Beyem Seyo Pack of wolves attacking and killing dozens of cattle in Sierra Valley.1:14:45 – Has Randy ever been a hunter?

1/8. The Wild Turkey, the Bald Eagle, and the Illogical Nature of Bird Names — Steven Moss — Moss introduces the Wild Turkey, discussing its successful reestablishment in New England and its domestication origin in southern Mexico. Moss critiques the turkey's nomenclature as fundamentally illogical, derived from historical confusion involving exotic trade routes through Asia Minor. Moss examines the Bald Eagle as a scavenger species that symbolizes predatory power and dominance. Moss notes that Benjamin Franklin reportedly argued the Wild Turkey should have been designated America's national bird instead. Moss further documents how the eagle was subsequently appropriated as a sinister political symbol by authoritarian regimes, most infamously by Nazi Germany. 1859

1. The Wild Turkey and the Bald Eagle: Symbolism and History AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This excerpt introduces the book and discusses the Wild Turkey, noting its reestablishment in New England and its domestication in prehistory, originating from southern Mexico. It explores the non-logical naming of the turkey, likely confused with exotic trade items like the guinea fowl. The conversation shifts to the Bald Eagle, discussing its scavenging habits, Benjamin Franklin's potential joking preference for the turkey as the national bird, and the eagle's historical representation of power and sinister forces. 1949
On a hot summer's day, watch a bird such as a crow — or this Bald Eagle — very carefully. You'll never see them sweat, because birds don't have sweat glands. So how do they keep cool? One way is panting. As the bird breathes rapidly, heat is carried out of its body through the lungs and air sacs. Bare skin on the legs, face, and beak also help with cooling. So do puffing out feathers, fluttering wings, or splashing in a puddle or birdbath. And soaring birds like hawks can simply ride the updrafts far above ground to cooler air.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
