Shit just got crazy with Mack and Bewick

In episode 293 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Elliot Bewick. Elliot is a producer, presenter and the host of The Next Generation Podcast, which bills itself as ‘a home for Gen Z to be exposed to different viewpoints, learn lessons from the past & search their way to a meaningful and fulfilled life'. Elliot got his start in media production when he was just 15 years old, through a chance encounter with the hosts of the Triggernometry podcast, Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster, as his dad was a fan of the show and dragged him to one of their live shows. At that show, he met Triggernometry's producer and pitched himself to him. After shooting his shot, he didn't hear anything for three months, before receiving a response back and Elliot was offered an unpaid internship opportunity to work on the show. From there, he started by working on the vlogs they made during their trips to America to record episodes with American celebrity guests, before becoming a fully-fledged staff member and eventually, producer of the whole show at just 18 years old. He worked as their producer for a year, before making another brave decision to leave the show as they wanted him to work on it full-time and he wanted to start his own podcast. He started the Next Generation Podcast in September 2024, which he describes as his ‘eureka moment' and it has gone from strength to strength ever since. In this episode, we chart that journey from 15-year-old school kid to producer of a mega-podcast in just three years, how he's developed his skills in front of the camera as well as behind it, and some of the issues he covers on Next Gen. We also discuss ‘therapy culture', his hopes for his generation, especially men and male suicide. For Elliot's mental health journey, we discuss the absence of suffering he had in his childhood, coming from a comfortable, middle-class background and his contemplations about whether he needed a level of suffering back then to give him extra drive, finding purpose and gratitude. We finish by discussing his recent move to Dubai in the UAE and why he made that choice, his decision not to go to university and his future as he enters his early 20s.

In July, a Cassin's kingbird (Tyrannus vociferans) calls from the edge between grassland and pine in Montana, USA. Three months later, I'm among Cassin's kingbirds again but 2000 miles farther south, in their winter range in Oaxaca, Mexico. Over the past year, my life has traced the path of these migratory Cassin's kingbirds—a journey that, for me, has involved falling in love and spending months far away from the Montana landscape I know and love. This is a story of migration, of the memories that birdsongs carry, and of finding a connection to the earth that spans time and space.  Along this journey, we meet many birds and hear their voices. Among the recordings featured in this podcast are Montana sounds of Cassin's kingbird, common yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas), grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum), Lincoln's sparrow (Melospiza lincolnii), sandhill crane (Antigone canadensis), Savannah sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis), vesper sparrow (Pooecetes gramineus), and western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta) recorded by me, Shane Sater. From Oaxaca, I share recordings of a Bewick's wren (Thryomanes bewickii), lark sparrow (Chondestes grammacus), lesser goldfinch (Spinus psaltria), loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), western kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis), and white-throated towhee (Melozone albicollis). Many thanks to Manuel Grosselet of Tierra de Aves (https://www.tierradeaves.com/) and Jay McGowan of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for giving me permission to use their Oaxacan recordings of Cassin's kingbirds. I depend on the support of my listeners to continue doing this work.

Join Julie Potiker as she guides you in this compassionate breath meditation. She completes the meditation with her poem, "Holding Court".Holding Court, by Julie PotikerScattered about, Western Sycamore leaves forever remind me of book pages - undone, unglued, unloved, discarded.Feeling this dip in mood, I make my way to the caged veggie garden below in search of something yummy.Bright green cauliflower lifts my spirits. I wrestle it out of the rich soil with the help of Cutco kitchen scissors. I really must get some garden shears. Been a year that I've been saying that in my head, and sometimes out my mouth.It's 5pm now, so the buzz saws, trucks, and workmen's chatter are silenced.Two heads cauliflower filling my hands, I'm stopped in my tracks by the sounds and sights of happy hour in full swing in the Scrub Pine.Standing stock still, I search for movement along the branches. Birds the size of pine cones, and dark smooth pine cones that look like birds tucked in tight among the spikey needles in the fading light.Bewick's Wren was holding court. His friends, Bushtit, Warbler and Towhee singing a cappella. A refrain rang out from Crow, he was winging it, he may have lost the score. Above it all, Red Tailed Hawk was conducting.What a blessing.

Migratory birds connect us. I've been in the state of Oaxaca, in southern Mexico, for almost two months now. This is a story of exchange, of our interconnected planet, and of the birds that connect our lands, from Montana to Oaxaca. But in telling it I couldn't ignore the difficult themes of gentrification: that although the birds don't recognize the wall between our countries, it still greatly influences our human lives. I hope that this story stimulates interesting thoughts, conversations, and exchanges! This podcast features the voices of many birds: yellow-rumped warblers (Setophaga coronata) singing and calling from Montana, and calling from their wintering grounds in Oaxaca; and a recording from Las Canteras Park, Oaxaca de Juárez that includes social flycatcher (Myiozetetes similis), Bewick's wren (Thryomanes bewickii), yellow-rumped warbler, house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus), Inca dove (Columbina inca), white-winged dove (Zenaida asiatica), and curve-billed thrasher (Toxostoma curvirostre). Also, from Montana's spring and summer, we hear western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta), American robin (Turdus migratorius), yellow warbler (Setophaga petechia), house wren (Troglodytes aedon), and gray catbird (Dumetella caroliniensis).

Summary: Bird names are changing in 2024. Join Kiersten and Cheryl as they talk about a controversial decision made about bird names.   For our hearing-impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.   Show Notes: “American Ornithological Society Will Change the English Names of Bird Species Named After People,” AOS Leadrership, https://americanornithology.org   “These American birds and dozens more will be renamed, to remove human monikers,” by Nell Greenfield-Boyce. NPR Morning Edition, November 1, 2023. https://www.npr.org   Transcript Kiersten: Intro: Quoting the bard, William Shakespeare “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” I hope all you birders out there believe this quote to be true, because some changes are a'comin where common bird names are concerned. The American Ornithological Society has decided to change the English names of bird species named after people.   Cheryl: In November of 2023 the AOS announced that birds named after people would be renamed. Birds such as Anna's Hummingbird, Bullock's Oriole, Abert's Towhee, Gambel's Quail and Bewick's Wren will all be renamed. Scientists will form a multi-disciplinary committee that will seek public input when they begin renaming the birds. They will focus on birds that are in the AOS's jurisdiction which is the United States and Canada. Beginning in 2024, they will start with 70 to 80 species.   Kiersten: Why are they doing this? Quoting Dr. Collen Handel, president of the American Ornithological Society and a research wildlife biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Alaska, “There is power in a name, and some English bird names have associations with the past that continue to be exclusionary and harmful today. We need a much more inclusive and engaging scientific process that focusses attention on the unique features and beauty of the birds themselves.”             For example, in 2020 McGown's Longspur, a small prairie songbird from the Great Plains, was renamed to the thick-billed Longspur. This name focuses on the characteristics of the bird instead of using the birds to honor a human being. I like this thought process. This is what the scientists are going to do with all those names.   Cheryl: By doing this, the AOS is admitting that the previous process for naming birds comtained some bias. There are three guidelines they will be using for the renaming process and for future newly discovered bird species. The AOS commits to changing all English-language names of birds within its geographic jurisdiction that are named directly after people, along with other names deemed offensive and exclusionary, focusing first on those species that occur primarily within the U.S. or Canada. Kiersten: The second guideline: The AOS commits to establishing a new committee to oversee the assignment of all English common names for species within the AOS's jurisdiction: this committee will broaden participation by including a diverse representation of individuals with expertise in the social sciences, communications, ornithology, and taxonomy. Within the scientific community, AOS will include a broader representation of scientists this go around, instead of just a bunch of old white guys. Cheryl: The third guideline: The AOS commits to actively involving the public in the process of selecting new English bird names. So, instead of just involving scientists on the naming process, the AOS will reach out to the communities where these birds are found as ask for comments and suggestions.   Kiersten: Quoting Dr. Judith Scarl, AOS Executive Director and CEO, “As scientists, we work to eliminate bias in science. But there has been historic bias in how birds are named, and who might have a bird named in their honor. Exclusionary naming conventions developed in the 1800s, clouded by racism and misogyny, don't work for us today, and the time has come for us to transform this process and redirect the focus to the birds, where it belongs.”   Cheryl: We know that there will be a lot of push back from birders who have been birding for many years, but this is a necessary step to opening up birding to everyone. Because birding is for everyone. Ken Kaufman, author of many widely used bird ID guides, weighed in on this decision in a recent NPR article. He's been using these names for the last 60 years and was initially upset by the decision because he knows some of the people these birds are named after, but he's come around to the idea. He was quoted as saying, “It's an exciting opportunity to give these birds names that celebrate them, rather than some person in the past.”   Kiersten: I think Ken's quote about sums it up. Remember that the only thing changing here is the name of the bird, they are still as beautiful and as fun to watch regardless of what call them.

Summary: Another way to attract birds to your backyard is to provide nesting possibilities. Join Kiersten and Cheryl as they talk about what kinds of nest boxes you can provide for your backyard birds.   For our hearing-impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.   Show Notes: Birdhouse Features: Features of a Good Birdhouse: https://nestwatch.org/learn/all-about-birdhouses/features-of-a-good-birdhouse Find the birds near you and the best house for them: Right Bird, Right House:  https://nestwatch.org/learn/all-about-birdhouses/right-bird-right-house/ Nest Box designs by species: https://nestwatch.org/learn/all-about-birdhouses Troubleshooting birdhouses for landlords: https://nestwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/nest_box_troubleshooting_20110126_final.pdf Winter Roost Boxes: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/will-birds-use-nest-boxes-to-roost-in-for-warmth-during-the-winter/   Transcript  Kiersten: Intro: We started The Feathered Desert to inform listeners in the southwest about how to feed wild birds successfully and responsibly. We wanted our listeners to know what kind of food to feed to attract the kinds of birds you wanted to see in your backyard. It occurred to me the other day that Cheryl and I have yet to talk about the other way to attract birds to the backyard and that is using nest boxes. So, today's episode is all about the nest box.   Cheryl: Just like bird feeding, putting up birdhouses in your yard has evolved over the years to incorporate seasonal bird behavior and new scientific discoveries. To truly give the birds outside the best chance at surviving our constantly changing world, there are new guidelines for putting up birdhouses. It's not a one size fits all device any more. You don't just put up something that looks great to you and has a hole with a perch under it and see what happens. By observing bird behavior in the wild we've determined the best ways to offer birds a safe and secure home for raising young. Following these guidelines is the best way for you to attract even more birds to your yard and enjoy them for generations to come.   Kiersten: First of all, let's start off with features of a good birdhouse. These features are specific to birdhouses used for nesting, also referred to as nest boxes. There are a few important features for usable nest boxes and they apply to a box you make yourself or one that you purchase. First make sure the wood is untreated and unpainted. The best woods to use are cedar, pine, cypress, or for larger boxes, non-pressure treated CDX exterior grade plywood. Second, use galvanized screws for construction. These hold up better than nails and are easier to remove when repairs are needed. Third, make sure the roof is sloped and hangs over the main body of the house by 2-4 inches over the opening and 2 inches along the sides. This will help keep out rain even when it gets heavy and the wind is whipping wildly and will also help defend against predators. Adding ¼” cuts under all three edges of the roof will help funnel water away from the house, like rain gutters on our own houses. Fourth, a recessed floor helps keep the nest dry and prolongs the life of the box. Drainage holes on the floor are important, just in case water gets in. You can cut away the corners of the floor if you're making it yourself or drill 4 holes approximately 3/8” to ½” in diameter on the floor of a premade box. Sixth, to regulate the temperature the walls should be at least ¾” thick. We also want ventilation holes in both side walls, this is especially important in the heat of the southwest. There should be two holes at the top of each wall with 5/8” diameter.   Cheryl: Seventh, predator prevention. Predators are something that birds have to deal with naturally, but remember we are offering them a house that they are not making themselves. When they make their own nest, they disguise it from the predators such as snakes, raccoons, chipmunks, and outdoor domestic cats. The box that we're offering can stick out like a sore thumb so we need to take a few precautions. First, no perches under the opening! The birds don't need them and it's like a welcome mat for predators. Add baffles to the structure where you've mounted the nest box. Using collar baffles or stovepipe baffles work great on poles and smaller trees. Noel guards, a wire mesh tube attached to the front of the house, is a good way to protect an opening on a box mounted on a tree that is too large for a baffle. Eight, make sure the opening of the box is the correct size for the birds you want to attract. Remember before when I said there are no one size fits all birdhouses? This is where some of our new information comes in to play. Each species of bird desires a specific size hole for their house. It is very important that the hole in the house is the correct size for the species of bird you want to attract. For example, an American Kestrel needs a hole 3” in diameter, a Northern Flicker needs a hole 2 ½” in diameter, and chickadees need a hole 1 1/8” in diameter. Hole size is also important in deterring non-native birds such as European Starlings and House Sparrows. Nine, rough up the interior wall beneath the opening. Rough walls help the chicks get out when it's time to fledge. You can use course sandpaper or cut long horizontal grooves into the wood below the opening. Tenth, make sure the back is slightly extended above and below the box to give you room to easily mount it on your pole or tree. Eleventh, last but not least you want one side to be hinged so it can be opened after nesting season for easy cleaning access. Now, we know this is a lot to remember but we'll share a link in our show notes so you can look up this list later.   Kiersten: That's a perfect segue way into cleaning! This is also new and different from when we used to put up those cutesy birdhouses many moons ago. Do you need to clean your nest box out in between seasons? Yes! It's very important to clean out old nesting material every year. That why we're making one of the walls hinged. Removing old nesting material makes sure bacteria and detrimental insects are not passed from one family to the next. Typically, just opening the side panel and removing any plant matter that you find inside is enough, but if you had some especially dirty tenants, using a little warm water and plant-based soap (something like Simple Green or Seventh Generation) to remove poop is a good idea. Clean out your nest box after the last fledgling has left and you don't see any activity around the box for about ten days. When cleaning remember to protect yourself, as well. Use a dust mask and gloves to prevent any zoonotic disease transfer.     Cheryl: Speaking of seasonal activities, when should I put out my nest box? In the southwest have your nest box mounted and ready for visitors by mid-February. This is typically when our year-round residents begin looking for nesting sites and when our part-time residents are migrating in.             You can leave your nest box up year-round once you've found the perfect spot. To prevent unwanted guests such as European Starlings, bees, wasps, or squirrels from taking up residence in the off season you can close up your house. Plug up the opening and cover the ventilation holes like you might do for a cabin you only use in the spring or summer. To prevent honey bees or wasps from colonizing the nest box spray some non-stick cooking spray on the inside of the top of the box. This makes it too slippery for the insects to climb on. When it comes time for nesting season again, open everything up and give it a quick spring cleaning.   Kiersten: Where should I put my nest box?             This all depends on what bird species your box is made for. Every species has a preferred habitat. To help you decide which species you may want to attract go to nestwatch.org (I'll put the link in our show notes) and they have an interactive page called Right Bird, Right House. This is so cool! You put in what region you live in and what habitat surrounds your house. I put in the Southwest and the desert and it showed me which birds are in my area, where to attach my house, and what kind of house to build or buy. It tells you everything you need to know such as when they nest, how high the box should be, which direction it should be facing, and if they are in decline in your area. Some of the birds they show for the desert southwest are the barn owl, the Bewick's wren, brown-crested flycatcher, the elf owl, and the Say's Phoebe. If you live in the White Mountains or summer in a cabin you might put up a house for the black-crested titmouse, the bridled titmouse, the mountain bluebird, or the pygmy nuthatch.             Now a note of caution in the Phoenix Valley, in the severe heat that we get here you need to be extra careful with where you put up a nest box. It should be in an area that is shaded almost all day. If you don't have any area like that or you can't put up a device to add shade, you may not want to place a nest box in your yard.   Cheryl: If you put up a nest box but no one seems to be moving in, be patient. It can take up to a year for a nest box to be noticed and used. If you see some interested parties that just aren't buying, maybe you've put it in the wrong place or maybe mounted it too high or too low. There could be other things wrong that we don't see but the birds do. Nest Watch from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has a trouble-shooting guide for nest box landlords that you can access online. And we'll post that link in our show notes.   Kiersten: One last thing about nest boxes that I didn't even think about until I did the research for this episode. The question came up as to whether birds would use a nest box to roost in the winter? I'd never even thought about that, but as we just discussed we should be closing them up outside of breeding season.  So… you can actually have a roosting box for your overwintering birds! What's the difference between a nest box and a roosting box? The design of each box is vastly different. A well-designed roost box prevents the birds' body heat from escaping, so it will have fewer ventilation holes than a nest box. The entrance hole will be near the bottom of the box to prevent the rising warm air from escaping which is opposite of the nesting box. Inside the roosting box there will be several perches to allow multiple birds to roost as opposed to an open area in a nest box where a nest can be made. Staggering the perching will allow for everyone to have their own spot but still be close enough to snuggle for warmth. Roughing up the sides is a great way to encourage clinging birds such as woodpeckers or creepers to use the box. Roosting boxes are usually larger than a single-family nest box to accommodate species that huddle in the winter. Hinging the top panel allows for easy cleaning after the winter season. This could be a great option for our Phoenix Valley residents who can't use a nest box because their yards are short on shade. These are not as readily available to purchase already made, but we'll post a few links that have blueprints for making your own.   Cheryl: Just like feeding birds, placing nest and roost boxes in your yard should only be done if you are willing to take the time to do it right. You must have the time and motivation to use the correct products, place it in the best place, provide predator prevention, and be willing and able to clean it properly. If this is not something you can do in your own yard, reach out to your local birding groups and see if there are any community nest projects you could help with. Schools and daycares often get students to create nest boxes and mount them near their facilities. Maybe you can offer to help them out.             If you do decide to put up a nest box, consider taking the next step and joining Project Nest Watch at Cornell. This is a citizen scientist program that teachs you how to monitor nest boxes for scientific studies. The data you record watching the birds you're already watching can help further our understanding of bird behavior.   Kiersten: That's Nest Boxes in a nutshell. If you're interested in putting one up in your yard please check out our show notes and use the links we've provided to get more information to help you successfully offer your backyard birds a great place to raise a family. A future note: We will be taking a break in September 2023 but we'll be back with new  full-length episodes in October!

By late summer, most birds hatched in spring are on their own, without help from their parents. Where do they go? Young migratory birds will head south in late summer or fall, in the pattern of their species. But most non-migratory birds born last spring — such as this immature Bewick's Wren — will need to find an unoccupied territory. So they disperse more widely than the established adults. Newly fledged Bald Eagles embark on a nomadic life. Sometimes they fly hundreds of miles in a day, a journey that may take them across the continent. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Today we're picking up an important thread we've been weaving through the podcast since the beginning - Queer menstruality.I'm back with Red School Leadership Mentor, Abi Denyer-Bewick and this time we're in conversation with the brilliant Lottie Randomly who graduated from the Red School Menstruality Leadership Programme in 2012.Lottie is a facilitator, educator, activist, writer and mentor with a background in mental health work and resilience building. They're also a ceremonialist, with a special interest in funerals, and they're especially drawn to the inner landscapes that people often fear passing through, such as menstruation and menopause as well as death and grief.In our conversation to day we're looking to expand the concepts around menstruality to include all people who menstruate - as well as people who don't - all in the name of belonging, which is at the heart of this work. We explore:- How the practice of menstrual cycle awareness naturally brings up questions and personal exploration around the identities we hold. - How to expand the conversation around menstruality expands to include the experiences of all people with menstrual cycles, including non-binary and gender-expansive folks.- “Menstrunormativity” and the harmful impacts around the unsaid assumptions about the menstrual cycle and menopause.---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Ian Rawes (1965-2021) was a sound recordist best known for creating the London Sound Survey, a huge collection of his recordings of the sounds of London. Before his death, Ian was recording the course of the night across the wilder places of East Anglia. He made these field recordings in remote locations across Norfolk and Suffolk, sometimes camping overnight in bird hides to capture the different nocturnal moments. Ian called the project, ‘From Dusk Till Dawn', and handed the recordings to his friend, composer/producer Iain Chambers, saying that he wanted them to bring about something new. Here, writer Kayo Chingonyi responds to the recordings, and Iain uses both elements to create a new composed sound piece, in tribute to Ian Rawes. We start at sunset: the sounds of wildfowl travel far across the flooded fields of the Ouse Washes in Cambridgeshire. Many are Bewick's and whooper swans spending the winter in the Fens before migrating back to Iceland and Siberia. https://thelondonsoundsurvey.bandcamp.com/album/from-dusk-till-dawn https://www.soundsurvey.org.uk Recordings – Ian Rawes / The London Sound Survey Words/voice – Kayo Chingonyi Composer/producer – Iain Chambers Mixing engineer – Peregrine Andrews Executive Producer – Nina Perry An Open Audio production for BBC Radio 3

Moment solennel, tout dernier épisode de grande saga dédiée à la migration des oiseaux.    La présentation qui suit est de Gilbert Blaising, de oiseaux.net. Le réchauffement climatique a entraîné des modifications notables dans le comportement migratoire de certaines espèces d'oiseaux. Il est prévisible que ces changements se poursuivent et même s'accentuent. Des hirondelles hivernent maintenant en France au lieu de se rendre en Afrique. Celles qui y descendent encore partent plus tard et reviennent plus tôt. Les cigognes restent au stand aussi.   Les migrations étant ainsi écourtées, les oiseaux concernés font, en grande partie, l'économie des énormes dépenses d'énergie qu'exigeaient ces voyages au long cours et qui étaient la cause d'une importante mortalité à coté des accidents, de la prédation et de la chasse.   Autres avantages pour ceux qui renoncent à hiverner en Afrique subsaharienne: ils échapperont à: La pénurie de nourriture liée à la désertification des régions sahéliennes L'assèchement des zones humides tropicales La montée du niveau des océans qui envahira les vasières des estuaires riches en nourriture et donc indispensables aux haltes alimentaires.  L'avantage pour beaucoup d'oiseaux d'Europe du Centre et du Nord de pouvoir écourter leur voyage saisonnier a pour contrepartie une redoutable menace. Beaucoup d'espèces nichent dans la toundra arctique parce que les larves d'insectes, moustiques en particulier, y pullulent l'été. Or ce milieu, très vulnérable au réchauffement, est en train de reculer au profit de la taïga.   On estime que la toundra est condamnée à disparaître à terme, entraînant le déclin, voire la perte de très nombreuses espèces qui s'y reproduisent exclusivement, comme les cygnes de Bewick, les oies rieuses, les bernaches à cou roux et une grande variété de chevaliers et de bécasseaux.   En même temps, le réchauffement des eaux superficielles de l'Atlantique modifie la répartition des poissons et donc des oiseaux qui s'en nourrissent. Ces espèces risquent donc de quitter nos côtes et nos îles pour suivre le déplacement vers le Nord du phytoplancton qui est à la base de toute la chaîne alimentaire marine.   Ces évolutions imputables au réchauffement du climat vont se combiner au déclin de bien des espèces provoqué par les activités humaines.   Certes, les oiseaux ne risquent pas de disparaître pour laisser des - Printemps silencieux - Au contraire, certaines espèces, dites - généralistes -, prospèrent, car plus adaptables à une grande variété de milieux. C'est le cas par exemple des pigeons ramiers, des mésanges charbonnières, des fauvettes à tête noire.   Globalement toutefois, notre faune aviaire qui était considérée comme la plus riche d'Europe tend et tendra toujours plus vers la banalisation et l'uniformisation.   Mais les Français et les Européens, urbanisés à plus de 80%, en prendront-ils seulement conscience pour éventuellement le déplorer et réagir ? _______ Tous les épisodes de la saga Migrations des oiseaux : https://bit.ly/migrations_1_leg_defs_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_2_typ_dir_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_3_voi_zones_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_4_met_etudes_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_5_pilotg_nav_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_6_prepa_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_7_records_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_8_curiosites_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_9_ete_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_10_automne_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_11_hiver_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_12_printemps_BSG _______   Notre invité Adrien de Montaudouin est ornithologue et fondateur de l'association CPAL.

Summary: Wrens are some of the most charismatic families of songbirds! Join Cheryl and Kiersten as they introduce you to some found in the Southwest.   For our hearing impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.   Show Notes: www.allaboutbirds.org “Western Chatterboxes” by Ken Keffer, Birds and Blooms Magazine pg 26-32. Background bird song:  Naturescapes Backyard Birds www.naturescapes.com   Our email address, please reach out with comments, questions, or suggestions:  thefeathereddesert@gmail.com   Cheryl: Intro Wrens are small birds but what they do not have in size they make up for in personality, chatter, and curiosity.  Our Sonoran Desert has several wrens flit through our desert and urban landscapes. Kiersten:  Cactus Wren          The Cactus wren is a large, chunky wren with a long heavy bill, a long rounded tail, and short, rounded wings.  The Cactus wren is the largest wren in the U.S. It also has the distinction of being the state bird of Arizona.           This wren is a speckled brown bird with bright white eyebrows that extend from the bill across and above their red eyes to the sides of the neck.  They have pale cinnamon sides and a white chest with dark speckles.  The back is brown with heavy white streaks, and the tail is barred white and black.  Males and females look alike.           Unlike other wrens that typically hide in vegetation, the cactus wren seems to have no fear.  They perch a top cacti and other shrubs to announce their presence and forage out in the open.  These birds do not cock their tails over their back the way other wrens do.  Instead, Cactus wrens fan their tail feathers, flashing white tail tips.          Cactus wrens, as we have mentioned in previous podcasts, make more than one nest a year, its spherical, with males and females occupying different nests through out the year.  Cactus Wren is an insect eater.  When feeding its nestlings it will pull the wings of the grasshopper before it feeds it to its baby.  That's a lot of wings because one Cactus Wren nestling eats 14 grasshoppers a day.          Cactus Wrens live in desert, arid foothills, coastal sage scrub and urban areas of the southwest.  They especially love areas with thorny shrubs like the Cholla and Prickly pear. Cheryl: Rock Wren          Medium-sized wren with a long tail and thin bill.  Pale brown above and whitish below with slight buffy or peachy wash on the lower belly. Back and wings are finely speckled.  Underpants are finely streaked, but often look whitish.           The small industrious Rock Wren constantly hops around rocks, investigating crannies for insects and spiders, which they extract with their delicate bill.  This resourceful species thrives even in bleak desert settings occupied by few other birds.  The rock wren is not known to drink water but instead gets all it needs from its food.          Male Rock wren is a truly remarkable singer and can have a large song repertoire of 100 or more songs, many it has learned from its neighbors.          Rock Wrens are on of the few bird species that uses landscapes significantly altered by industry or tother human activity.  Nesting is road cuts, railroad tunnels, gravel pits, clearcuts, coalmine spoils, and refuse heaps. Kiersten: Canyon Wren          A tiny bird with a big voice, the Canyon Wren, sings a gorgeous series of sweet, cascading whistles that echo off the rocky walls of its canyon habitat.  Canyon Wrens are incredibly agile birds that hunt for insects mostly among rocks, scaling cliff faces and using their long slender bills to probe into crevices with surgical precision.          They are a warm cinnamon -brown with a salt and pepper pattern on their head, and neat white throat patch.  The vertebral column of the Canyon Wren is attached higher on the skull than it is on most birds.  This modification, along with a slightly flattened skull, allows a Canyon Wren to probe for food in tight crevices without bumping its head.  Canyon Wrens sometimes steal insects trapped in spiderwebs or stowed in wasp nests. Cheryl: Bewick's Wren-pronounced Bu-ick's          The Bewick's Wren is a medium-size brown wren with a long tail that is often held up.  The bill is long and slightly curved.  Note the white eyebrows and dark barring on the tail.  These are boisterous and curious birds.  Their plumage varies regionally from rusty-brown in humid areas to grayish- brown in drier regions.          Bewick's Wrens are noisy, hyperactive little birds.  They are master vocalists that belt out a string of short whistles, warblers, burrs, and trills to attract mates and defend their territory, or scold visitors with raspy calls.   A young male Bewick's wren learns to sing from neighboring adult males while he is coming of age in his parents territory.  The songs he develops differ from his father's, with a note changed here or a syllable there.  The melodious signature he acquires between the ages of about 30 and 60 days will be his for life. These wrens are common in much of the western North America.  Bewick's wrens eat insects, but will eat fruits, seeds and other plant matter especially in winter.  Bewick's wrens build their nests in cavities or on ledges about 30 ft off the ground. Kiersten:  House Wrens          The house wren is a small, nondescript brown bird with a short tail, thin bill and dark barring on wings and tail with a paler throat.  House wrens have a effervescent voice and is a common visitor to backyards.  Spending its time zipping through shrubs and low tree branches snatching at insects.   Because they are cavity nesters, house wrens thrive around buildings, yards, farms, and other human habitations with their many nooks and crannies.          House wrens eat a variety of insects and spiders, including beetles, caterpillars, earwigs and daddy long legs, also small snails for the grit to aid in digestion and calcium.           The house wren has on of the largest ranges of any song bird in  North or South America because it breeds from Canada through the west indies and Central America, southward to the southern most point of South America.  Generally, Bewick's wrens and House wrens will not nest in the same areas.  So you can imagine the pressure the Bewick's wren is under with the success of the House wren. Cheryl: Closing These amazing small birds are full of personality and big voices so it is a joy to spend time with them here in the Phoenix Valley where it is  home to a variety of these wrens.  

Springtime in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in southeastern California. Cacti and wildflowers glisten with raindrops, and birds begin to sing. A House Finch, a Bewick's Wren, a Cactus Wren, a Mourning Dove, and this Costa's Hummingbird all add their sounds.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Today on Too Opinionated, DJ, House Music Producer, Singer/Songwriter Nick Bewick drops in for a visit!  Nick Bewick discovered his passion for music at a young age. Growing up in Ohio, he enjoyed listening to the tunes of Daft Punk and Britney Spears, artists who inspired him to dream big and pursue a career in music. In the late 2000s, Nick took a leap of faith and made his way to the West Coast - planting roots in sunny Los Angeles, California. From 2017 - 2020, Nick joined Core Church in Los Angeles, devoting his time weekly to sing for various services. Along with the rest of the world in 2020, performing at Core or at any live events was on hold. As a result, Nick decided to focus his energy on songwriting and producing his own music.  2021 was a banner year for Nick as he wrote, produced & released 7 original tracks, available on Spotify and Soundcloud - the most recent being MAKE IT BACK.  The inspiration behind MAKE IT BACK stems from a dream Nick had of one of his music idols, Mariah Carey. In his dream, she was singing lyrics that spoke to his soul. Shortly after he awoke, he forced himself to quickly record the hook into his voice notes. After writing the verses and the bridge around the hook, he felt that the song was a way to express a message that no matter what negative people do or say and no matter what the world tries to take from you, you can always make it back. His philosophy is that there is always hope - no one is ever never too far-gone to "make it back," no matter what adversities anyone has faced.  Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

How can storytelling help to tackle some of the biggest issues of our time, like climate change and biodiversity loss? And what role can migratory birds play, like swans and ospreys?  To talk about these issues and many more is today's guest, Sacha Dench. Sacha is the CEO of Conservation Without Borders, which organises inspiring expeditions following the paths of migratory birds, along the lines of both geographical and political borders. By displaying the flyways from the air, land and sea, they help to highlight the importance of collective action in the fight against climate change and biodiversity collapse. Sacha is an adventurer, a conservationist, a champion freediver, and is known as the human swan for her paramotor journey in 2016 following the Bewick's Swan's migration from the Russian Arctic all the way to the UK. We spoke to her in the final days before her latest expedition, from the UK, through Europe and into Africa, charting the flight of the Osprey, and the impacts of climate change on migratory birds. In this episode, we talk about the realities of climate change and the importance of storytelling and communications for conservation, and how to stay hopeful and optimistic for the future.  Sacha also shares her inspiring career so far, along with her top advice for people like you who might be seeking to follow in her footsteps. It's a wide-ranging, enjoyable and really eye-opening chat. Enjoy.

One of the beautifully challenging things about cultivating an intimacy with our menstrual cycles, or menopause process, is that it opens us up to the world. To the beauty of life, and to the pain. This quality of tender, unarmoured presence is real medicine for a world that can feel full of conflict, pretense, injustice and a lack of capacity to be with difference. A devoted practice of cycle awareness helps us to see that we all belong; to ourselves, to the rhythm and flow of the natural world, and to each other.Today we're marking Pride Month, with a podcast episode about how menstrual cycle awareness can help us to be with difference, and create true cultures of belonging. Our guest is Abi Denyer-Bewick, a queer menstuality educator and member of the Red School faculty. We chat about the menstruality learning session she recently offered our Menstruality Leadership Programme graduates on 'Inclusive menstruality', including:- How to create a culture of belonging for women and everyone who menstruates.- What life might look like for a trans, non-binary or gender expansive menstruator.- How to work with the fear, trauma or other big emotions that may arise as we explore how to be with difference, together. We also share some guidance for how to take this belonging and inclusion work deeper, from a range of brilliant LGBTQ+ educators. ---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

The vernal equinox, the first day of spring. The moment when the sun is directly above the equator, and day and night are nearly equal all over the world. Yet birds sense the growing hours of daylight through a surge of hormones. It's time to sing! Both science and folklore tie spring to the renewal of nature, as the world awakens from the long cold winter. Listen carefully, and you might hear the bubbling song of a tiny Ruby-crowned Kinglet, or a Bewick's Wren tuning up, or a towhee — like this beautiful Eastern Towhee — shouting out its whistled notes.

Dr Julian Abel is a recently retired consultant in palliative care, former Vice President of Public Health Palliative Care International, and co-author with Lindsay Clarke of The Compassion Project: A Case for Hope and Humankindness from the Town that Beat Loneliness. From childhood Julian has tried to seek out what he can do that is “meaningful and helpful.” Going into healthcare was a direct expression of that. When he first entered medicine he discovered that it had a pronounced hierarchy. “The patient was nowhere near the top.” After a spell studying Chinese medicine and cranial osteopathy, he became a palliative care consultant in Weston-super-Mare within a service that covered hospice, community and hospitals. He became particularly interested in the community dimension of this because he came to understand that “the thing that makes the biggest difference is not the professional support but the love, laughter and friendship.” He says that it is deeply embedded in our nervous system: “we have a prosocial nervous system.” Julian's book The Compassion Project is largely based on the Compassion Frome Model initiated by Dr Helen Kingston and Jenny Hartnoll, and which Julian helped to lead. It spun out of a paper initiated by Helen. Julian supported the paper with some statistics, which included that emergency admissions in Frome had decreased by 14% whilst in the rest of Somerset they had risen by 29%. It was clear that they were onto something. Up until this point no-one had come across an intervention that would reduce population emergency admissions. The team decided that they need to ‘go public' and explain the building blocks of what they were doing and the benefits. Julian co-authored an article in Resurgence magazine, that was reported in the Guardian. Someone read the publicity and approached the Frome team concerning the possibility of writing a book. The Compassionate Frome model provides a means of connecting lonely and isolated patients with the plethora of activities that are going on in the community. The friendships brokered by Compassionate Frome create mental wellbeing which, via the mind-body connection, is reflected in physical wellbeing. Community connectors and health connectors play a key role in the Frome model. There are around 700 of the former (in a population of 28,000). The role of the community connectors is, by reference to a web directory, to signpost people to activities in the community that might be of interest. Julian the conversations that each connector has as a “little explosion of compassion in the community.” The health connectors are fewer in number and help people gain clarity on what is important to them and what they need when they are not in touch with these things. They are trained in motivational interviewing. His son Bewick has taken compassionate thinking into his primary school, located in a hard-pressed community. The first thing he did was help children recognise and name their emotions. And then they talked about which ones were beneficial to school life and which ones were harmful. More recently they have introduced a morning check-in, where they ask one another how they are, and if there is anything they can do to make it better. In time the children became happier and more connected and educational attainment improved dramatically. Julian feels that one of the challenges of the UK education system is that many of the ministers and civil servants are emotionally inarticulate themselves. Julian has formed an organisation Compassionate Communities UK (you can find it on the web at compassionate-communities.co.uk). It is focused on sharing, developing expertise, and education. Some of its work is professional facing and some is public facing. Julian's podcast ‘Survival of the Kindest' is also part of it. Julian is looking to develop expertise around community sources of support for trauma. “If you just rely on professional services, it's never going to...
