Podcasts about hog island audubon camp

On our latest show: Rosy Tucker tells us about the marvelous Hog Island Audubon Camp; Mike O'Connor offers an update on why birds rotate their eggs; and we meet the cold-defying Gray-headed Chickadee.

Annie McEwen went to a mountain in Pennsylvania to help catch some migratory owls. Then Scott Weidensaul peeled back the owl's feathery face disc, so that she could look at the back of its eyeball. No owls were harmed in the process, but this brief glimpse into the inner workings of a bird sent her off on a journey to a place where fleshy animal business bumps into the mathematics of subatomic particles. With help from Henrik Mouristen, we hear how one of the biggest mysteries in biology might finally find an answer in the weird world of quantum mechanics, where the classical rules of space and time are upended, and electrons dance to the beat of an enormous invisible force field that surrounds our planet.A very special thanks to Rosy Tucker, Eric Snyder, Holly Merker, and Seth Benz at the Hog Island Audubon Camp. Thank you to the owl-tagging volunteers Chris Bortz, Cassie Bortz, and Cheryl Faust at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary. Thank you to Jeremy Bloom and Jim McEwen for helping with the owls. Thank you to Isabelle Andreesen at the University of Oldenburg and thank you to Andrew Farnsworth at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, as well as Nick Halmagyi and Andrew Otto. Thank you everyone!EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by -  Annie McEwenProduced by -  Annie McEwenOriginal music and sound design contributed by -  Annie McEwenwith field recording and reporting help by - Jeremy S.

If you like birds, this is the place for you. The people, the food (my god the food), the views, the hiking, and especially the BIRDS are incredible. And if it's raptors you're specifically interested in, I highly recommend visiting Hawk Mountain Sanctuary www.hawkmountain.org. You can watch these amazing birds wheeling high above a stunning forested valley, if you're into that sort of thing… and maybe if you're lucky you'll even catch sight of some teeny weeny owls.Books  Scott Weidensaul will make you love birds if you don't already. Check out his books and go see him talk! http://www.scottweidensaul.com/Website If you want to learn more about the fascinating and wildly interdisciplinary field of magnetoreception in birds, you can dig into the work of Henrick Mouritsen at the University of Oldenburg and his colleagues at the University of Oxford here: https://www.quantumbirds.eu/  Signup for our newsletter!

Young birders who have participated in the ABA's Camp Avocet Maine's well known Hog Island Audubon Camp, are no doubt familiar with Holly Merker. But that only scratches the surface of her contributions to the birding world. A former member of the ABA's Recording Standards and Ethics Committee, and one of the authors of the well-received and timely Ornitherapy, she is the recipient of the ABA's Award for Conservation and Education, formerly the Betty Peterson Award. She joins The American Birding Podcast to talk about mindful birding and applying ethics.  Also, the wild story of the Pheilstorch.

On this episode Doug Hitchcox, a field educator with the Maine Audubon Society and one of very few birders to have found 400 species of birds in the state of Maine is my guest.  We talk about his birding story and adventures, as well as his work with Maine Audubon.  Doug is really fun to talk with, and I cannot wait to try to get together birding with him next time I go home to Maine.  You can find Doug @dhitchcox on Twitter  or contact him at Maine Audubon by email naturalist@maineaudubon.org   Here is information about the Gilsland Farm which we talk about in detail on the episode.  Here is the website for the Hog Island Audubon Camp.  As always find more at BirdBanter.com under the blog section Until next time. Good birding and good day!

Emily sits with Dr. Stephen Kress, world-renowned ornithologist and founder of National Audubon Society's Project Puffin, for a conversation while overlooking the waters of Muscongus Bay, Maine. This special two-part episode shares a chronicle spanning half of a century.

Pete Salmansohn, knows as Puffin Pete, is my guest on The Bird Banter Podcast Episode #57.  Pete has worked as an educator for National Audubon Society and other organizations, and has been especially involved in education about seabirds off the Maine Coast.  We talk about the highly successful and ongoing reintroduction of Atlantic Puffins and other seabirds to breeding islands off the Maine Coast.  Enjoy. We talk about Hog Island Audubon Camp and here is a link to their site. Here is a link to a 2010 Science article on the Puffin Reintroduction. Here is another article about the work of their project.  I like this one a lot. Here is a link to one of Pete's children's books on Amazon.   Be sure to check out the blog post on BirdBanter.com to see more related info. Good birding. Good Day!
