Podcasts about geese

Autumn…and geese fly high overhead in V-formation. But what about that V-formation, angling outward through the sky? This phenomenon — a kind of synchronized, aerial tailgating — marks the flight of flocks of larger birds, like geese or pelicans. Most observers believe that each bird behind the leader is taking advantage of the lift of a corkscrew of air coming off the wingtips of the bird in front. This corkscrew updraft is called a tip vortex, and it enables the geese to save considerable energy during long flights. The V-formation may also enhance birds' ability to see and hear each other, thus avoiding mid-air collisions. Small birds probably do not create enough of an updraft to help others in the flock and don't fly in vees.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Across the southern great plains, extreme drought has produced a parched landscape and caused iconic wetlands such as Cheyenne Bottoms to go dry, leaving few options for migrating waterfowl and hunters. Dr. Mark Vrtiska, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Tom Bidrowski, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, join the podcast to discuss how an unseasonably warm fall and now an extended arctic air mass will bring further challenges to waterfowl hunters of their states. www.ducks.org/DUPodcast  

As three major weather systems clash in the Upper Midwest, duck hunters clamored to get to their hunting spots. Temperatures went from the mid-60s to single-digit blizzard conditions and trapped many hunters on shorelines and islands throughout the Midwest. Chris Madsen, DU Magazine freelance contributor and author of the feature A Deadly Day for Duck Hunters, shares his insights into the horrific tales of survival many hunters faced as the storm pummeled the region. Madsen discusses safety lessons learned from the Armistice Day Storm of 1940 and how the tragic story has stuck with generations of waterfowl hunters. www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

With subfreezing temperatures and wintery weather descending across the Mid-Continent, the 2022 duck season is quickly closing for hunters in the U.S. and Canadian prairies as wetlands freeze and birds make major moves southward. In this episode, Dr. Scott Stephens gives an update on the likely effect of this early November weather system and recaps what was a largely successful hunting season on the prairies. We close with a discussion of Scott's newfound decoy tactic…the song dog displacement. www.ducks.org/DUPodcast  

Dr. Wayne Capooth, the author of “The Golden Age of Waterfowling”, joins us in the podcast studio and takes us through the history of duck clubs in the Mississippi Delta, discussing the early clubs of Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi, how they were formed, and their impact on Waterfowling in the region.  www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

Avian flu is impacting backyard flocks of chickens and turkeys as well as commercial poultry facilities in virtually every state and province in North America. Dr. Julie Lenoch, USDA Wildlife Services, joins Dr. Mike Brasher to discuss the national response to the disease, provide an update on the outbreak, and share guidance to waterfowl hunters on actions we can take to reduce further spread and assist in surveillance monitoring. www.ducks.org/DUPodcast  

In part two of this species profile of the white-fronted goose, or specklebelly goose, USGS research ecologist, Dr. Jay Von Bank, wraps up our discussion about “specks.” We talk about spring migration, the rigors of Arctic nesting, population size and growth, the oldest white-front ever documented, patterns of harvest, why specklebellies are such great table fare, and how they have changed the waterfowl hunting landscape. www.ducks.org/DUPodcast  

Jay Anglin, Great Lakes Migration Editor for ducks.org, provides a brief hunting and habitat update for the Great Lakes region where stale conditions will soon be changing to more seasonal temperatures. www.ducks.org/DUPodcast  

Avian flu is a naturally occurring disease but can cause near 100% mortality in backyard birds and commercial poultry. Wild, free-ranging waterfowl are one of the primary means by which the avian flu virus can spread across long distances. Dr. Julie Lenoch, USDA Wildlife Services, shares guidance to hunters on how we can help reduce the spread into backyard flocks and commercial facilities through proper handling of harvested waterfowl and responsible cleaning of gear. www.ducks.org/DUpodcast    

In part one of this species profile of the white-fronted goose, or specklebelly goose, Dr. Jay Von Bank, USGS research ecologist, discusses this increasingly popular species that is providing new opportunities for hunters as they continue to expand their distribution. In this episode, we address whether barring can be used to determine the age or sex of birds; how and why the “speck” distribution has changed; what we're learning from telemetry studies; and how their diet changes during winter.  www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

This is the time of year when some folks leave the prairie winds and go south for the winter. Folks down south who have permanent residence there will say, "The snowbirds are coming!" About the same time, the northern geese are going south too. Recently, I read that these geese are not going as far south as they used to go in past years. These geese flap their wings and fly south in a V formation. In the spring, they fly north and it is always a special time for us to learn some lessons from the geese. We can learn about sharing leadership from the geese. When the goose in the lead gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose takes over at the point position. We can also learn from the geese to be interdependent and take turns in doing the hard tasks in a caring and sharing way. What happens when one goose gets sick or wounded? Two geese drop out of formation and follow him down to help and to protect him. They will stay with him until he is either able to fly again or dies. Then they launch out on their own, either with another formation or to catch up with the original flock. As we travel throughout our journey in life, we may have many challenges where we need someone to cheer us on and give us that encouraging word. We need to stand by each other and care about each other in the good and also difficult times in life. We can learn from these northern geese, that when we share a common direction, and a sense of community, we can get where we travel on the thrust of one another. What are these geese communicating to us? We can learn many lessons from animals and birds as we go through many life experiences. Warm thoughts: The highest wisdom is kindness. Talmud. Caring comes before sharing. Have many warm thoughts, every day! Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea by Luetta G.

Looking at a Canada Goose, you might not think their bodies are designed for fancy flying. But watch as a flock of geese comes in for a landing at a lake and you might be surprised. If the flock comes in too fast or too high above the water, geese have a little trick to slow themselves down for a safe landing. The geese stop flapping and then quickly roll their bodies upside down, while twisting their long necks the right way up. Finally, they rotate again to right themselves just in time to gently splash down. It's a maneuver called whiffling. It seems to help the geese slow down quickly – but sometimes it might just be for fun.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

We live by a lake in the northwest. If we awoke from a twenty-year-long nap, like in the story of Rip Van Winkle, and we didn't know what month it was, we could guess by looking at the lake. Different seasons bring us different wildlife, mostly waterfowl. Canada geese drop in to rest each spring and fall as they head north or south. They fill the skies, obeying God's call to go where He has prepared a place. Later, white-backed mergansers come in their dozens and stay the winter, chasing fish and snails that multiplied all summer. Round black coots, painted wood ducks, and buffleheads all spend the late winter finding different food in and around the lake. In summer, they're replaced by gangly cormorants and green-headed mallards with fluffy ducklings. Hummingbirds, swallows, and woodpeckers return too. Each is called here in their season to receive the bounty God provides. They hear, trust, and come. “Listen” is one of the most frequent commands in the Bible. In the NIV, the word listen appears more often than trust, praise, obey, and even worship. However, the word love exceeds them all. As you listen for God's call, listen especially for love. God invites us to trust His love for each of us, which He perfectly expressed in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. God the Father tells us to listen to Jesus, who is God the Son (Mark 9:7). And as we follow Jesus, our loving God helps us to love one another. As you spend time in God's Word and listen to the “gentle whisper” (1 Kings 19:12) that He speaks just to you, remember that the lake God has for you may be different from the one He has for your friends. Every year, I watch different geese fly past us for weeks. They don't all stop by our lake because they each get a unique call. Similarly, all Christians are called by the same God, but our lives will not look the same. God has given us each unique paths. And, as we listen to Him, we can trust that the God who cares for the birds will also care for us. ⦁ Rick Taylor ⦁ How do we learn to listen to God? If we know Jesus, the Holy Spirit is in us, reminding us of everything Jesus has said and helping us discern God's voice (John 14:26). We also need to talk to trusted Christians and help each other answer questions like: Does this agree with the Bible? Does this glorify God the Father and God the Son (John 16:12-15)? Does this bring the fruit of the Spirit and hope (Galatians 5:22-23; John 10:10) or condemnation and fear (John 3:17; Romans 8:1)? Who are trusted Christian mentors or peers you could talk to about this? All creatures look to you to give them their food at the proper time. Psalm 104:27 (NIV)
