The cries of a Killdeer are familiar across most of the U.S. during spring and summer. But where do they go in winter? Killdeer that breed in the southern half of the US and along the Pacific Coast are year-round residents. But those that breed in the northern U.S. and Canada, where winter conditions are more severe, migrate south to Mexico and Central America. Because the northern Killdeer fly south — right over the region where other Killdeer reside year-round — they are known as leap-frog migrants.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

Like many interviews we start with a tour around the farm where we visit his perfectly rectangular fields in sandy soil where he grows carrots and cilantro and spinach. Jake shares a bit about cover cropping, cultivation, and dealing with oak leaf goosefoot. After that we get out of the 90° heat and sit around the kitchen table to learn a little bit about how he got started farming, and what he recommends for new or young farmers facing today's farming challenges. Jake has a long history in the Vermont agricultural space, and helped craft the organic movement, and is actively involved in the real organic project, we ran out of time to really discuss all the avenues that his farming life has taken him and I'll have to revisit with him to share more of this interesting history but I hope you enjoy this episode of The Farmer's Share.

Latest Cattle Industry News Ponzi Scheme Cattle Company Sale Could Aid Investors According to Jeff Beach with the North Dakota Monitor, A North Dakota investor says the purchase of a financially troubled meat company is progressing with a percentage of the profits being used to pay back investors in the alleged Ponzi scheme over several years. Wylie Bice of Killdeer, who is among those who lost money by investing in Texas-based Agridime, told the North Dakota Monitor that a price has been agreed upon to buy the company. Bice said the offer is reasonable but several steps remain before the deal can close. The court-appointed official overseeing the company said in a July 8 update on Agridime.com that federal law requires three separate appraisals for each parcel of property being sold, “which is not a quick process.” The update did not say a deal has been reached, but when it is, it would be submitted to the court for a 30-day review and objection period before it can close. Bice said the final agreement would likely include a percentage of the profits of the company to be used to pay back investors over a designated period of years. Investors in several states, including a high concentration in North Dakota, lost millions of dollars by investing in Agridime. Agridime bought cattle, had them brought up to market weight at feedlots and processed in retail cuts of meat. The company then direct-marketed the beef through its website. It also sold investments in calves, promising as much as a 30% return on investment without having to do the work of ranching. The Securities and Exchange Commission in December accused the company of operating as a Ponzi scheme by taking money from new investors to pay off previous investors instead of investing that money into cattle. The North Dakota Securities Department said a Killdeer-based sales agent, Taylor Bang, earned $6 million in commissions from illegal cattle investment contracts through Agridime. Bang told the North Dakota Monitor in December that the figure was “way high.” While it is under investigation, a slimmed-down version of the company has continued to operate as American Grazed Beef. Bice said that if the deal is approved, he and his partners would likely keep the American Grazed Beef name. The investments in calves, however, would not be a part of the business plan. Bice, Bang, and other North Dakota investors lost an estimated $40 million in the Agridime scheme. Overall, investors in at least 15 states are out an estimated $191 million. The July 8 update also says investors should be notified by the end of the month with a calculation of what they are owed. Investors will have 30 days to review these calculations and notify the court-appointed receiver of any issues. “There were approximately 40,325 transactions made by Agridime between 2021-2023, and it took a bit of work in the company's bank records to determine what amounts were being paid to whom,” the update said. It also said a motion will be filed with the court outlining the forensic accounting analysis of Agridime between 2021 and December 2023. The motion “will provide insight into the company's operations during that time period and whether the company was paying returns on older investor contracts with money received from new investors.” CDC Investigating Multi-State Listeria Outbreak Connected To Sliced Deli Meat The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is investigating a multi-state Listeria outbreak linked to sliced deli meat, according to a release. The CDC said the outbreak has hospitalized 28 people in12 states and caused two deaths. The agency said it is working with USDA-FSIS to investigate the outbreak. Many affected individuals reported eating meats sliced at deli counters, which are known to be potential sources of Listeria contamination. Illnesses have been reported from May 29 to July 5. The two reported deaths occurred in Illinois and New Jersey. The actual number of cases may be higher as some individuals recover without seeking medical care and are not tested for Listeria. Public health officials are gathering epidemiologic data, including demographics and food history, to identify the outbreak's source. The CDC cautions anyone with a weakened immune system about eating meat sliced at a deli counter unless it has been reheated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F or is steaming hot.

We go over the pros and cons of hot wire pasture grazing versus traditional barbed wire. Plus, an update on the cattle Ponzi scheme that everyone has been asking about. We have news, markets and lots more on this all new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. EPISODE 187 DETAILS Cattle Management: Hot vs Barbed Wire. Agridime Cattle Ponzi Scheme Latest News ELECTRIC HOT WIRE VS. BARBED WIRE Maximizing Agricultural Efficiency: The Advantages of Rotational Grazing Rotational grazing offers numerous benefits for sustainable farming. By moving livestock between paddocks according to a strategic schedule, farmers allow forage crops to rejuvenate, replenish energy reserves, and enhance plant vigor, leading to long-term maximum production. The key to a successful rotational grazing system lies in its flexibility. Utilizing a highly-movable temporary fence and understanding its proper use are crucial for maximizing the benefits and maintaining an efficient grazing routine. Optimize Your Grazing Strategy Implementing a well-designed rotational grazing system can lead to healthier livestock and more productive land. Explore the essentials of rotational grazing and discover how to enhance your agricultural practices for sustainable success. A Comprehensive Guide to Temporary Electric Fence Wires: Polywire vs. Polytape When it comes to temporary electric fencing, two main types are available: polywire and polytape. Both options consist of fine metal filaments intertwined with polyethylene or polypropylene fibers, with the metal providing the shock and the plastic ensuring strength and visibility. Choosing the Right Polywire for Your Needs For short-distance applications, such as subdividing a pasture, a six-strand polywire is typically sufficient. However, for longer distances or areas prone to overgrowth from weeds and grass, opt for a polywire that delivers a stronger shock to ensure effective containment. The Benefits of Polytape Polytapes are known for their superior visibility, particularly in white. If you're experiencing inadequate animal control with polywire or need better visibility for safety reasons, such as fencing for horses, switching to polytape can be beneficial. Although polytape may be more expensive, the improved control and visibility often justify the cost. Essential Tools: Electric Fence Reels For ease of use and flexibility, especially if you plan to adjust paddock sizes frequently, an electric fence reel is indispensable. These reels, made from weather-resistant plastic, can hold one to two spools of polywire or polytape, making it easy to move and reconfigure your temporary fencing as needed. Explore the best practices for using polywire and polytape to optimize your temporary electric fencing system, ensuring maximum efficiency and control for your livestock management. Cattle Industry News: Agridime Ponzi Scheme, NCBA response to Farm Bill, TSCRA Relief Fund AGRIDIME: NORTH DAKOTA GROUP MAY BUY CATTLE COMPANY THAT OWES MILLIONS According to the Bismarck Tribune, Jeff Beach/North Dakota Monitor, a North Dakota rancher said he is working on a deal for a small group of investors to take over a cattle and beef marketing business that was labeled a Ponzi scheme and owes North Dakotans millions of dollars. Wylie Bice, who ranches near Killdeer, said the group is close on a final price for Texas-based Agridime, with the goal of making it an asset to North Dakota ranchers. Bice said he hopes the group can close on a deal by July 1 to take over Agridime facilities in Texas, Arizona and Kansas. He told the North Dakota Monitor he hopes North Dakota can supply about 60% of the cattle that the business will need -- about 10,000 head per year. Bice, who is among the investors who lost money with Agridime, said the group includes a former business partner of his who is in Texas and would come out of retirement to help manage the company. In December, the Securities and Exchange Commission accused the company of operating as a Ponzi scheme by taking money from new investors to pay off previous investors instead of investing that money into cattle. The cattle were to be fed until reaching market weight and then processed. Agridime would then market the meat directly to consumers. A court-appointed receiver has been trying to determine what assets remain for the company that owes millions of dollars to investors and cattle producers in 14 states. In the first quarterly report, posted May 1 on the Agridime.com website, the receiver, Steven Fahey of Texas, said it was involved in “serious discussions with a North Dakota-based investor group.” The group would purchase the assets of the company, including the remaining meat and cattle inventory. The report said a sale could be submitted for court approval by mid-June. The retail and wholesale meat business would continue under the American Grazed Beef name. Meat sales were moved from the Agridime site to a site using the American Grazed Beef name. Bice said it was not likely to move any operations to North Dakota, instead using the existing warehouses in Texas, Arizona and Kansas that are closer to large retail markets such as Dallas-Fort Worth and Phoenix. “I like the concept of it,” Bice said. “Their online plan was really good.” While operating as American Grazed Beef, “The company has been doing pretty decent for just idling along,” Bice said. The report notes that the number of Agridime employees has dropped from 83 to 40 while under receivership. More bang? Bice said it is possible the company could again involve Taylor Bang. Bang is a longtime cattle broker from Killdeer who also operated as a sales agent for Agridime. “He's a very good salesman, and I sure hope he can stay involved with us,” Bice said. The North Dakota Securities Department said Bang earned $6 million in commissions from unregistered cattle investment contracts through Agridime. Bang told the North Dakota Monitor in December that the figure was “way high.” Agridime offered people the chance to invest in the cattle industry, offering returns of as much as 30% without having to do the work involved with raising and marketing cattle. Agridime said the money would be invested in calves that would be raised for beef sales. But investors were not actually buying cattle or given information, such as ear tag numbers, about the calves they were investing in. The Securities and Exchange Commission said in its complaint that Agridime executives started using that investment money for other purposes instead of investing in cattle, turning the operation into a Ponzi scheme. A Securities Department official estimated that North Dakotans have lost about $40 million in Agridime investments. The quarterly update also includes lists of transactions, assets and creditors, though addresses are not included with the creditors. The creditors list includes Bice and Bang and several others with the last name Bang. North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said that while Agridime's license to buy cattle in the state has been revoked, Bang still has a license to broker cattle as an individual. Goehring said he thought the idea of buying out Agridime was “odd.” “Why would you not just start over?” Goehring wondered. Bice said money from the sale of the company would go to paying off creditors. If there is no deal, the receiver said it would likely submit a liquidation plan by July 31. Bice said he has visited the Agridime facilities and is excited about the possibility. “Usually, I'm invested in stuff I know nothing about,” Bice said. “I know something about this.” Other developments Assets: The May 1 update from the receiver says, as of March 31, there were about 3,387 head of cattle on feedlots in several states. The receiver in February said there were about 6,500 head of Agridime-owned cattle. The update notes that “records as to the quantity and location of its cattle were sparse and poorly maintained.” The update says there were about 841,000 pounds of beef stored at Agridime's warehouses in Arizona, Kansas and Texas as of March 31. Lawsuit: Another federal agency announced May 14 that it is taking legal action against Agridime. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission said it has filed a civil enforcement action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas against Agridime and its founders, Joshua Link and Jed Wood. The CFTC said it is seeking restitution for defrauded customers, civil penalties, trading bans, and a permanent injunction against further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act and the agency's regulations. The CFTC says Agridime received more than $161 million from over 2,000 customers in 14 states. That is $30 million less than the SEC's estimate of $191 million in its complaint filed in December. Judgment: The Securities and Exchange Commission in April obtained a judgment on Link and Wood that prevents them from selling securities. The SEC will determine a civil penalty in the future. NCBA COMMENDS HOUSE AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE FOR PASSING FARM BILL The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) thanked the House Agriculture Committee for passing the next Farm Bill, known as the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2024. This Farm Bill includes top priorities for cattle farmers and ranchers including cattle health, voluntary conservation, and food security provisions. “Cattle producers are thankful that the House Agriculture Committee has advanced a Farm Bill that delivers on the needs of rural America,” said NCBA President and Wyoming rancher Mark Eisele. “This Farm Bill protects the cattle industry from foreign animal disease, supports producers' voluntary conservation efforts, and safeguards our food supply, recognizing that our food security is national security. On behalf of cattle farmers and ranchers across the country, thank you to Chairman Thompson and the House Agriculture Committee for passing this bill. I hope the full House will take the next step and pass this bill soon.” TSCRA DISASTER RELIEF FUND DISTRIBUTES $900,000 Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association has announced the distribution of $900,000 in financial assistance through the TSCRA Disaster Relief Fund. This signifies the first of ongoing financial assistance going directly to cattle raisers impacted by the largest wildfire in Texas history. “Funds are on the way to ranching families affected by these fires, and we will continue to quickly distribute much more funding to those in need for as long as it takes to help them to rebuild,” said TSCRA President Carl Ray Polk Jr. The distribution of funds comes after thousands of individuals and businesses came together to generously donate to the TSCRA Disaster Relief Fund in support of cattle raisers facing staggering losses. Recent data from the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service estimates the region faced agricultural losses totaling $123 million. This includes losses of livestock, equipment, fencing, hay, feed and more. The TSCRA Disaster Relief Fund continues to accept applications for financial aid from landowners and cattle raisers in disaster-declared counties in Texas and Oklahoma.

EPISODE 165 DETAILS So many of you have reached out inquiring about the latest details about the Agridime Cattle Ponzi Scheme. It gets rather complicated, but BEC and I break it down for you. Some of the most feed efficient cows around are coming up for sale. Lucky 7 Angus Ranch is selling their spring calving Oklahoma cows at public auction, January 8th at Ogallala Livestock Auction in Ogallala, Nebraska. AGRIDIME According to articles in the Bismarck Tribune and Ag Week, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which filed a civil lawsuit against the company on Dec. 11, has labeled the operation a Ponzi scheme, in which Agridime was using investor money to pay existing investors and commissions to salespeople rather than using new money to do what it said it would — purchase, feed and care for cattle to be finished and sold to consumers as beef. The SEC has received a temporary restraining order, including an asset freeze, on the company owned by Joshua Link of Arizona and Jed Wood of Texas, through Jan. 9, pending a hearing on Jan. 5. As of Sept. 5, 2023, Agridime-held cattle contracts required payment to investors of $123 million in principal, plus $24 million in guaranteed "profits." The company, as of Sept. 30, 2023, had less than $1.5 million and insufficient operating revenues, the SEC complaint said. Carl Karpinski, enforcement attorney for the North Dakota Securities Department, said there is no confirmed tally yet on investment losses in North Dakota. But he said the eventual number may be significant. "North Dakota is one of the most — if not the most — affected states" in the nation, he said. While the SEC complaint did not go into specifics about the cattle the company did purchase, other than specifying that "Defendants did not buy the number of cattle required to fulfill the Company's obligations under the Cattle Contracts," Agridime was licensed as a livestock agent in North Dakota. Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring announced on Dec. 15 that it no longer will be licensed in the state. “Agridime was licensed in North Dakota,” Goehring said in a statement. “Their renewal was pending based on issues with bonding. The actions taken by the SEC will support our denial of their license and we will issue a cease-and-desist order, effective (Dec. 15), to prevent further purchase of livestock.” Karpinski said the Securities Department is not working on the cattle sales side of the case, though the North Dakota Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Agriculture are involved. Ellingson encouraged producers involved in the case to contact the Stockmen's Association at 701-223-2522. HOW AGRIDIME OPERATED The SEC complaint said Agridime raised $191 million from more than 2,100 investors in at least 15 states since January 2021. Instead of using investor money as advertised, the SEC filing said Agridime has used at least $58 million from Dec. 1, 2022, to Sept. 30, 2023, in investor funds from new cattle contracts to make principal and profit payments to previous investors. Agridime would sell investors cattle contracts for $2,000 per calf. The company would then promise to buy the cattle back a year later at return rates of 15% to 32%, the complaint says. Agridime paid commissions to salespeople, typically 10%, for each cattle contract sold, which also was not disclosed to investors. The SEC documents say that through May 2023, commissions paid exceeded $11.1 million in total, including "at least $5.6 million to a salesperson in North Dakota," $1.3 million to Link and his wife and $1.3 million to Wood. By using the funds to make previous investor payments and to pay commissions, "Agridime has not purchased enough cattle to fulfill its Cattle Contracts. Agridime's investors, therefore, do not actually invest in specific, identifiable animals. Instead, the success of their investments depends on the success of Agridime's purported cattle operation, including its ability to attract new investors." Agridime had operations in Texas, Arizona, Kansas, North Dakota and "other states," court documents said. In North Dakota, Securities Commissioner Karen Tyler on May 24, 2023, ordered a cease and desist order against Agridime and Link. Neither Agridime nor Link were registered as an issue-dealer or a broker-dealer in North Dakota, the cease and desist order said. Despite that, Link on Sept. 7, 2022, sold an investment contract to a North Dakota resident for $250,000, the order said. The SEC complaint said Agridime sold $9 million in 18 cattle contracts to North Dakota residents since the issuance of the cease and desist order in May. Agridime also sold $1 million in cattle contracts to Arizona residents since a similar order was issued there on April 18, 2023, and an Agridime salesman there admitted under oath on Oct. 18 that he still was selling contracts in Arizona. The state of Arizona in November filed a contempt motion against Agridime and Link. Tyler issued another cease and desist order in North Dakota on Dec. 15 against Taylor Bang of Killdeer, which alleged that Bang, despite not being registered as an agent with the Securities Department, had received $6,055,390 in "transaction based commissions by selling unregistered cattle investment contracts on behalf of Agridime in or from North Dakota" from Jan. 1, 2021, through Oct. 30, 2023. Under North Dakota law, the North Dakota Securities Commissioner can assess civil penalties of $10,000 per violation of the Securities Act. Bang said he's always approached his business honestly and was simply taking direction from Agridime. “I was just doing a job.” Bang disputes the claim that he made more than $6 million in commissions from Agridime. He said that figure is “way high” and that he wasn't sure how the Securities Department arrived at that number. The Securities Department says it calculated the figure from subpoenaed financial records. Bang said he was aware of the May cease-and-desist order the North Dakota Securities Department filed against Agridime and Link, but that as far as he could tell, the company took the legal demands outlined in the orders seriously and was working to address them. The rancher said he's worked with Agridime for roughly seven or eight years. He said he still thinks very highly of the company and is proud to support the American livestock industry. “To date, I have not had one person that has done this, as far as the cattle-purchasing contracts, not get paid on time,” Bang said. In the Dec. 15 order, Tyler ordered Bang to turn over all commissions received from Agridime, to be deposited into the North Dakota Investor Restitution Fund and to be liable along with Agridime to Agridime investors. LUCKY 7 ANGUS In 1895 James Jensen started a five-generation ranch, from which came Lucky 7 Angus. That first winter he lived in a dug out on the side of a hill and shoveled snow off the grass to feed his 3 horses and 7 cows in what is called the Nation's Icebox, Boulder, Wyoming. We know very well the blood, sweat and tears it takes to keep the family ranch afloat. And that is why we take it very seriously that our customers are the most profitable in the livestock industry. Lucky 7 Angus was started in order to raise bulls that could hold up better for commercial cattlemen, such as ourselves. We have accomplished the goal... For the past 30 years we have been unmatched in raising cows and bulls in tougher conditions than the rest of the industry, which has made the most durable bulls for our customers. We were the first seedstock operation to set minimum standards for PAP testing. The number of animals tested with these standards, are unmatched in the industry, which helps our customers with less sickness and death loss. We were the first seedstock operation to test for feed efficiency in real world conditions. Then in 2002 we started feed efficiency testing by purchasing large vertical mixers in order to know how much every cow, calf and bull on the place ate. In 2009 we were the first Angus only seedstock producer in the U.S. to purchase a GrowSafe feed intake monitoring system. Lucky 7 Angus is unmatched in the industry by having both real world and scientific feed efficiency testing data, which allows our customers to make more pounds of beef per acre. The measures we have taken in producing our genetics gave us enough confidence in our bulls to offer the nation's first 4 year guarantee. This guarantee is unmatched in the industry and allows our producers a 33% advantage when buying bulls. What makes Lucky 7 different is our goal, to have the most profitable customers in the livestock industry. We are proud that the hard work great grandpa James put into the start of this ranch has not been in vain.

This week we discuss the Killdeer. These shorebirds (that aren't always near the shore) will put on a display where they pretend like they are injured to lure predators away from their eggs. Join John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, and Amanda Marquart as we discuss the Killdeer. We also follow up on a previous discussion about how smoke and wildfires impact birds. We talk about a study in California called "Project Phoenix" where birders can help participate in studying the impact that wildfire smoke has on birds. Here is a link to participate in the study. Please note the study is only in the state of California, so you have to be in California to participate: https://www.project-phoenix-investigating-bird-responses-to-smoke.org/Reach out to us at podcast.birdsofafeather@gmail.com and follow us on Instagram @birds_of_a_feather_podcastPlease spread the word! We are still new and trying to spread the word about our podcast. We are trying to reach birders of all levels, and hope to provide fun info for experts and beginners alike. Thanks!One of the best new podcasts available. Also called the best bird podcast.
Summary: There are three categories of birds that can be found in the wild. Join Cheryl and Kiersten as they discuss the research of wildlife scientist John Marzluff and how it pertains to the birds in our backyards. For our hearing-impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean. Show Notes: Welcome to Subirdia: Sharing Our Neighborhoods with Wrens, Robins, Woodpeckers, and Other Wildlife, by John Marzluff. Transcript Cheryl Intro: Ever wonder who moves into the neighborhood? Birds, as adaptable as they are do not always want to live with humans, nor do they always benefit by sharing space with humans. In the book Welcome to Subirdia, the author, John Marzluff, a professor of Wildlife Science writes about this. His team of graduate students studied urban, Subarian, and forested areas to identify and count the bird species in areas around Seattle, Washington. Let's take a look at our region of the southwest; which birds thrive in our presence, which birds adapt to living with us, and which birds choose to stay clear of human activity. Kiersten: Avoiders Avoiders are those native bird species that are extinguished or decline over time as urbanization intensifies. Birds like Burrowing Owls, Green heron, Orange- crowned warblers, Scarlet Tanager, or even the Scott's Oriole, and the Hairy Woodpecker. These birds all have varying degrees of sensitivity to human development. They move farther and farther away from it. This is true of the hairy woodpecker. It builds its nest in dead trees. What HOA allows dead trees? Burrowing owls are susceptible to predation by people's pets, and feral cats. So, these ground dwelling owls of our local desert are pushed farther and farther out. Some birds like the Green Heron just likes its privacy, so it has a low tolerance for our activities. Scott's Oriole, and the Scarlet Tanager enjoy forested areas, and hunt insects. Orange-crowned Warblers enjoy riparian areas. So, we can appreciate why these birds find their choice habitats not in our backyards. Cheryl: Exploiters Exploiters are species that thrive in our presence, often coevolving with humans and rarely occurring where people do not exist. Birds such as the American Crow, Northern Mockingbird, Barn Swallows, Barn Owls, Mallards, Canada goose, house finches, and house wrens, house sparrows, European Starling, our beloved lovebirds, and pigeons (Rock Doves). I was surprised by some of the birds on the list. These birds move into the niches vacated by those birds who find themselves more of an avoider. A few of these birds' humans are responsible for introducing into the urban areas they are thriving in. Each species soars in abundance as soon as clearing begins and increases over time. Most of these species are not present in forested areas in large numbers. The ability of these species to capitalize on the lawns, lakes, and nesting niches created in built environments likely explains their success. Kiersten: Adapters “Adapters are mostly native species that thrive on natural, young, open shrubby, and dissected habitats.” (Quote from Welcome to Subirdia,) An interesting description of our neighborhoods and backyards. Adapters find and adjust to situations in our cities, urban, or suburban areas even if the natural habitat is man made. This is the largest group of birds, which is encouraging, but these birds decline when the areas grow too close to forested habitats, or yards become overgrown, or trees too mature. Birds like Anna's hummingbird, White-crowned sparrow, American goldfinches, Lesser goldfinch, Song sparrows, rock wrens, Curve-billed thrasher, Killdeer, and the Yellow-rumped warbler are all birds that adapt to human changes in their habitat as long as the changes are within reason. Kiersten: Why is this information important you ask. It is important to know how birds are adapting or not adapting to human activity so that we may better understand how we may improve our living spaces so that we make room for birds to live, too. Birds can move from one category to another for example: a bird could be an adapter until the stresses of human activity pushes it to be an avoider, or it could move from adapter to being an exploiter, like the Northern Mockingbird it all depends on how a particular species handles what humans do to their habitats. Cheryl: Closing It is not surprising that birds can handle many of the challenges of living people, given that they have wings to propel them away from humans, if need be, and they are linked to dinosaurs, adding their engaging personalities, flexible behaviors, and short generation times, all these things help birds to succeed in even the toughest parts of our human-dominated world. We are capable of applying this knowledge to our backyard living spaces, parks and recreation areas, and make the adjustments necessary to support the bird life that is present now, and to build toward greater diversity in the future.

The cries of a Killdeer are familiar across most of the US during spring and summer. But where do they go in winter? Killdeer that breed in the southern half of the US and along the Pacific Coast are year-round residents. But those that breed in the northern US and Canada, where winter conditions are more severe, migrate south to Mexico and Central America. Because the northern Killdeer fly south — right over the region where other Killdeer reside year-round — they are known as leap-frog migrants. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

Cedillas live in Colombia and Venezuela, but the biggest and most extreme example of their family is the killdeer. These birds have huge, hooked bills that can hang down almost to the ground, which gives them an advantage when hunting for animals such as voles and small birds.
This week the guys had the privilege to talk with Janis Putelis, of MeatEater. Many of you know Janis for his adventures with Steve Rinella and his clever remarks, but it didn't start at the top. This discussion is more about how Janis got to where he is now. Janis discusses his younger days of working on ranches in Colorado, to time in Alaska, Utah, and eventually Montana. Paul's been traveling the world again for work but gearing up for deer season. Andrew was able to take an afternoon in the DSA at KillDeer plains to hang out in the tree. Nothing happening, but it was nice to get back into the woods and work out the kinks. Deer archery season opens across the entire state of Ohio on September 24. Don't forget to check out the OHLAP program for new properties across the state. There is a public rule shearing on 9/14/22 at 7pm at the District office at 1500 Dublin Rd Columbus OH. Keep an eye out for EHD as we move closer to the first frost. Also be on the look out for the spotted lantern fly in trees near your home and in the woods. This bug is another invasive one that can cause major damage to our woodlands. Report any findings to the Ohio Department of Agriculture.

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 9-9-22. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of September 12 and September 19, 2022. SOUNDS – ~2 sec – short examples of calls by Greater Yellowlegs (first) and Lesser Yellowlegs (second). In this episode, we feature two shorebirds whose long, colorful legs are a distinctive mark. Have a listen for about 20 seconds and see if you can guess the name shared by these two species that's based on that characteristic. And here's a hint: the name rhymes with what a person eats when they get two scrambled for breakfast. SOUNDS - ~21 sec If you guessed yellowlegs, you're right! You heard, first, the Greater Yellowlegs, and second, the Lesser Yellowlegs. Both are known as “marsh sandpipers” or simply “marshpipers” because they're in the family of shorebirds called sandpipers and they prefer marshes or other wetland habitats. Greater Yellowlegs are also sometimes called “tattlers” because of their noisy alarm calls. The two species are the only tall sandpipers in North America with legs colored bright yellow or sometimes orange. They're distinguished from one another by the somewhat larger size of the Greater Yellowlegs, by that species' bigger and slightly upturned bill, and by differences between their calls. Both species breed in the tundra or forests of Canada and Alaska, and both then migrate to spend winter in the southern United States, Mexico, Central America, or South America. The Lesser Yellowlegs is typically found in Virginia only during migration, but the Greater Yellowlegs can be found wintering along Virginia's coast. These birds hunt in shallow water and on mud flats for their prey of fish, frogs, and a variety of invertebrate animals, such as insects, worms, snails, and shrimp. If you're visiting coastal Virginia between fall and spring and you're watching the birds, here's hoping you encounter some yellow-legged ones wading in shallow waters to find their food.

As the “peeps” scurry over the mud and along the waters edge, the yellowlegs, with a more careful, heron-likeelegance, wade out into ponds and sloughs in search of different prey.“General description: Yellowlegs can be distinguished from other shorebirds by the long, straight oralmost imperceptibly upturned bill and the very long, bright yellow legs. The neck is longer and moreslender than that of most shorebirds. ...Distinguishing betweenthe two...species of yellowlegs is more difficult. Plumage of the two birds is nearly identical. None of the following distinctions are completely reliable by themselves, and if possible they should be used in conjunction with each other. When seen together, as often occurs in migration, the greater yellowlegs (Tringa melanoleuca) stands9-10 inches high (0.25 m), taller than the lesser yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes). The greater yellowlegs has a somewhat thicker bill than the lesser, and it may turn upward very slightly, while that of the lesser yellowlegs is slighter and quite straight. The calls of the two species are distinctive. The greater yellowlegs has a louder and clearer call, often uttered in a three- or four-note sequence, ‘kyew kyew kyew,' with a falling inflection to each syllable. The lesser yellowlegs tends to call once or twice. Both species of yellowlegs have a ‘yodeling' song in addition to the better known sharp alarm calls. This song is given either from the ground or during display flights and has been variously interpreted as ‘toowhee, toowhee,' ‘tweda, tweda,' or ‘whee-oodle, whee-oodle.' It is heard both on the breeding grounds and in migration. ... “Life history: ...Fall migration begins in late July and lasts through September. Primary routes are midcontinental (mostly west of the Mississippi River) in spring and both midcontinental and along the Atlantic coast in fall. Wintering yellowlegs are scattered along the coasts from South America through California and Oregon. In South America, birds concentrate where shallow lagoons and brackish herbaceous marshes lie adjacent to the outer coast. Flooded agricultural fields, especially rice fields, have also become important. In mild years greater yellowlegs winter as far north as southern Vancouver Island. “Behavior and feeding: The exaggerated legs of the Tringa genus are best explained by the custom of feeding in the water, often wading out beyond the belly depths of less elevated relatives. Among shorebirds, long bills usually accompany long legs for the same reason. The greater yellowlegs is an accomplished fisher, at times preying almost exclusively on small estuarine fishes such as sticklebacks and sculpins. Sometimes groups of feeding yellowlegs will form lines, wading abreast to corner fish in the shallows. Both yellowlegs, particularly the lesser, also eat invertebrates. Adults and larvae of aquatic insects such as water boatmen, diving beetles, dragonfly nymphs, and flies are important in the diet, as are sand fleas and intertidal amphipods. Terrestrial invertebrates such as ants,grasshoppers, snails, spiders and worms are also taken. In spite of the length of the yellowlegs bill, it is rarely used for probing in sand or mud. The greater yellowlegs will swing its bill from side to side in the water; the lesser yellowlegs does not. “Both yellowlegs breed in the boreal forest and the transitions between forest and tundra in wet bogs and open muskegs. During migration, both species frequent brackish tidal sloughs and mudflats, as well as the edges of freshwater lakes and ponds. Lesser yellowlegs occasionally swim, an unusual practice amongshorebirds. The lesser yellowlegs seems somewhat more gregarious than the greater, although both are seen in loose flocks.” SOURCES Used for Audio Alaska Department of Fish and Game, “Yellowlegs,” text by Richard Carstensen (undated), updated by David Tessler in 2007, online (as a PDF) at https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static/education/wns/yellowlegs.pdf.

Some birds, such as the Northern Bobwhite, take their names from their songs or vocalizations: "Bobwhite! Bobwhite!" The Killdeer is another bird named for its song: "Kill-dee, kill-dee, kill-dee." There are others. "Poorwill, poorwill, poorwill" calls this Common Poorwill. This bird is the cousin of the Whip-poor-will, another bird that calls its own name.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Since Killdeer don't always pick the safest places to lay their eggs, they've developed a clever way to protect their young. They use the art of distraction. When it spots a predator close by, the Kildeer parent will pretend it has a broken wing - calling loudly and limping along as it stretches out one wing and fans its tail.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

The searing cry of a Red-tailed Hawk pierces the air. The distinctive scream is coming from a tree nearby. But when you scan the tree for the form of a hawk, you see only a small, speckled, black bird. You've been fooled. It's a starling giving voice to the hawk's cry. The European Starling — the continent's most abundant non-native bird — is an accomplished mimic. Starlings are especially astute imitators of bird sounds that have a whistled feel — like the sound of a Killdeer or quail. They can duplicate a car alarm or phone ring, too.

Enjoy a Fascinating Tale of a Fun Experience Watching the Amazing Killdeer. This Shore Bird is Smart, Cunning, Fierce, Passionate and Protective. Like you and me! They Lay Their Eggs in the Rocks!
The driest year California has experienced since the 1970s will have wide-ranging impacts in the West. In the Sacramento Valley, a reduced water supply will lead to about a 20 percent reduction in rice plantings. The loss of about 100,000 acres of rice fields has implications well beyond the farm level. The reduced plantings will impact rural communities that depend on agriculture as their foundation. It’s also a concern for wildlife, which greatly depend on rice fields for their habitat. Fortunately, rice growers are collaborating with conservation groups to get the most out of what’s available. “Over the last 150 years, over 90 percent of the wetlands that used to be in the Central Valley have gone,” remarked Julia Barfield, Project Manager with The Nature Conservancy. “They've been lost to development and agriculture, and there's a shortage of habitat that birds migrating along the Pacific flyway need. And that is wetland habitat, specifically shallow wetlands for migratory shorebirds, which is a group of species that have declined precipitously in the last 50 years. And we are working hard to make sure there's enough habitat, especially in years like this that are really dry -- and there's not going to be much habitat on the landscape when they're migrating this fall.” The Nature Conservancy has spearheaded two key rice conservation programs, BirdReturns and Bid4Birds, which have helped during past droughts. “What we've found in the last drought,2013 to 2015, which was a critical period, was that the incentive programs, such as BirdReturns, provided 35 percent of the habitat that was out there on the landscape and up to 60 percent in the fall period during certain days,” said Greg Golet, a scientist at The Nature Conservancy who has spent years working to maintain and enhance shorebird habitat in Sacramento Valley rice fields. This cooperation wouldn’t be possible without rice growers being willing participants. For decades, rice fields have provided a vital link to the massive Pacific Flyway migration of millions of birds. “I've been doing this for 40 years now, every farmer that I know is an environmentalist at some level,” said rice grower John Brennan, who works at several places in the valley, including Davis Ranches in Colusa. “We're the ones that are out there in the environment. We're the ones that get to enjoy the birds. We're the ones that get to see habitat and all the excitement that it brings to the landscape. But on the other side of it, we need to make sure that rice stays relevant in the state of California. And so, we're not going to be able to maintain this habitat, as habitat. There's not enough money in the state of California to do that. We need to come up with a farming program that does both, that provides food and provides habitat.” As summer approaches, the value of rice field habitat – especially during drought -- will grow right along with America’s next crop of sushi rice. The rice fields, complete with their diverse ecosystem, are a welcome sight to Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, who has worked on several fronts to bolster such conservation. “It makes me feel relieved,” she said. “It makes me feel like there's hope. It makes me feel like there's the beauty that we have all around us in Northern California -- and then to appreciate every single moment of it, and not to take away, but to help enhance what we have and to continue it for our future.” Episode Transcript CBS 13 Newscaster 1: The drought impacting much more than how you water your lawn, but the way food is grown in the Sacramento Valley. CBS 13's, Rachel Wulff shows us the changes to a multi-billion-dollar industry that supports 25,000 jobs. Fritz Durst: Farmers are eternal optimists. You have to be, to risk so much with so many things out of your control. Rachel Wulff: Fritz Durst, trying to keep his spirits up in a down year. Jim Morris: The past year plus has been difficult for our world, and now a significant new challenge has hit much of the west. Precious little rain and snow fell during fall and winter, leading to the driest year California has seen in generations. As a result, there will be less rice grown in the Sacramento Valley this year. That has wide ranging impacts, including to birds that migrate along the Pacific flyway. But as the newly planted rice emerges and more birds arrive, there's at least a momentary lift during this difficult time. Welcome to Ingrained, the California Rice Podcast. I'm your host, Jim Morris. I've worked with California farmers and ranchers for more than 30 years helping tell their stories. I'm at the historic Davis Ranches in Colusa, and even though drought has taken out about 20 percent of normal rice acreage, it is a beautiful time in our valley and an important one as well. Julia Barfield has been with the Nature Conservancy since 2010. After her undergraduate degree in English Literature and German, her early career was in publishing and editing, and then she made a big shift getting her graduate degree in biology with thesis work, including a field endocrinology and behavioral study on a nocturnal endangered species in a very remote field station in a desert grassland environment. And Julia, you need to go back to publishing after you write that book because I'll buy two copies of it, it sounds like a wonderful book. So we went from pandemic to drought and that is certainly challenging for protecting the environment, but let's start with something positive being out here in the country. What are your thoughts when you're in and around the rice fields and you see all the wildlife? Julia Barfield: Oh, it's so refreshing to get out, up here in the rice fields. And there's such a diversity of birds and we're out here today on Davis Ranches, and you can hear bird song in the background, and it's just such a release after being cooped up in the last year. Jim Morris: The Nature Conservancy has been contributing to this effort for many years, as well as some other conservation partners, and we're very grateful for that. So why is the Nature Conservancy using its time and expertise and resources to help wildlife in rice fields? Julia Barfield: Well Jim, over the last 150 years, over 90 percent of the wetlands that used to be in the Central Valley are gone. They've been lost to development and agriculture, and there's a shortage of habitat that birds migrating along the Pacific Flyway need. And that is wetland habitat, specifically shallow wetlands for migratory shorebirds, which is a species that has declined precipitously in the last 50 years. And we are working hard to make sure there's enough habitat, especially in years like this that are really dry and there's not going to be much habitat on the landscape when they're migrating this fall. Jim Morris: The Nature Conservancy has two specific programs they've worked with regarding rice farming and the environment. Tell me about those. Julia Barfield: Back in 2014 during the last drought, we developed a program called BirdReturns. I just mentioned that there's been a huge loss in habitat in wetlands, in the Central Valley. And during migration season, which is early fall and late spring for migratory shorebirds, there's often few places for them to stop and rest and feed on migrations that can go anywhere from Alaska down to Patagonia. So these birds are long distance fliers and they need to refuel along the way. And so, to make up this habitat shortfall, we developed this program called BirdReturns, where we work with growers to flood their fields for a few weeks at a time during the most critical times of year. And we call these pop-up wetlands. And another way to talk about it is we often refer to them as an Airbnb for birds. Jim Morris: And now there's a Bid4Birds. So tell me a little bit about that. Julia Barfield: So, the Nature Conservancy is part of a formal partnership with two other conservation organizations, Point Blue Conservation Science and Audubon, California. And we are working closely with the California Ricelands Waterbird Foundation to create a BirdReturns like program called Bid4Birds. It's the same kind of concept where we ask growers to submit bids to participate in the program, and we select growers who have the best quality habitat for the lowest price. Jim Morris: Tell me a little bit about working with growers, that's obviously a key element to make sure these programs are successful. Julia Barfield: Yes, the growers are a key component and since the beginning of doing burn returns, we work closely with the rice community and rice growers have been close partners for us. And the idea is that this is a win-win approach. So, by working with the growers, we are able to help promote their long term farming operations and also create habitat for birds. And we are kind of both an organization, if you will, where we want to have benefits for both people and nature, and rice growers are a very important part of this work. Jim Morris: Also here on the farm is Greg Golet, who has a PhD in Biology and an MS in Marine Sciences, and you spent time in Alaska with the US Fish and Wildlife Service as a wildlife biologist studying seabirds, sounds fascinating. And what type of birds did you study, and tell me a little bit about that Alaska experience. Greg Golet: I went up to go to Alaska after finishing college in Maine, because I wanted to go to one of the wildest places I could possibly find and do research biology. And there I studied blackleg kitty wakes and then pigeon guillemots out in beautiful Prince William Sound. Jim Morris: How long were you in Alaska and what was the most unusual thing that you saw, because Alaska is a very unusual place? Greg Golet: They say you judge your time in Alaska based on the number of winters that you spend there. And I will confess that early on, I was going to Alaska for field research and then returning to warm Santa Cruz for grad school. But I did put in four and a half winters there before heading back to Northern California. The wildest thing I think that I ever saw in Alaska was out at my field camp, which was tucked up in a fjord with a tidewater glacier at the head. The snow melted out beneath an avalanche cone and exposed this bear that had been taken out by a slide in the winter. And over the days we would go there and look at the various animals feeding upon it, including wolverines. Jim Morris: Oh, my goodness, Julia has a second book, she's going to need to work on too. So that's pretty amazing. And the rice ecosystem, doesn't have what you just described, but it is very diverse, and I think surprising to people. So tell me a little bit about your time in the rice ecosystem and some of the things that you've seen. Greg Golet: In Alaska, it was incredible because I had these remote experiences out in wild country where I saw incredible nature spectacles. But in the rice landscape, we see that as well. What's interesting to me about it, is that here it's a human dominated, managed, highly altered ecosystem. As Julia was mentioning, 90 percent of the historic wetlands are lost, and what's here is all tightly controlled with water allocations and specific management practices. But yet, when you do things right, you can see incredible responses of wildlife in spectacles, really as powerful as those that I had in Alaska with fields absolutely teaming with shorebirds. And of course the huge goose populations and so forth. Jim Morris: Let's talk a little bit about shorebirds. Rice fields provide internationally recognized shorebird habitat, and tell me some of the species that you've seen out here. Greg Golet: Well, we've seen many different species out here, and I'll tell you about a couple that I find to be extremely interesting. One is the Western Sandpiper and another is the Dunlin. And they're pretty similar, when you look at them, especially to the untrained eye, they might look just like these little brown birds. The Western Sandpiper only weighs about an ounce and the Dunlin isn't much bigger. Both of them breed up in the Arctic. Dunlin have a circumpolar distribution, whereas the Western Sandpipers are more just out on western Alaska, out by the Bering Sea. But what's really interesting and different about them, is that they have strikingly different patterns of migration. And so what that means is that when they head south for the winter, which both of them do, the timing is different. And so, the Dunlin typically come down, not until October, and then they spend the winter in the Central Valley and the rice country is extremely important to them. Whereas the Western Sandpiper comes down early. They come down, they peak in July when they move through the central valley on their way south, and then they don't come back until April. So there's really hardly any overlap between these two species out in the field. And what that means for us as conservationists, and what we really have to pay attention to, is that we can provide habitat over that broad range of time so that we can meet the dependencies of both of these species. Jim Morris: I find those shorebirds very interesting too, because I think almost every time I've seen them, they're eating. So they feed out of the rice fields as well as a place to rest. And so we are unfortunately in a drought situation. So how valuable are the rice fields in a year like this? Greg Golet: Rice field habitat is phenomenally important to these birds in droughts, as well as in regular years. What we've found in the last drought 2013 to 2015, which was a critical period, was that the incentive programs, such as BirdReturns, provided 35 percent of the habitat that was out there on the landscape and up to 60 percent in the fall period during certain days. Jim Morris: We've seen these dry years before, so do you have a degree of optimism that we're going to get past this, at some point? Greg Golet: I absolutely do. One of the things that we have on our side is that this is a highly managed system. And so therefore we can pull the levers that we need to, to put the habitat out there, where and when it will be most valuable to the birds. And what we also have now is this emerging science that tells us specifically what the habitat needs are and therefore where to best place them for maximum return on investment. Jim Morris: Essentially the Pacific flyway, that massive migration of millions of birds, even if we have a drought, you can't take a year off in terms of giving them the habitat in the Central Valley, right? Greg Golet: When these birds stop in here, it's likely that they need to replenish their reserves rapidly. They need time to rest. They need to have the time with their other members of the flock to establish the social connections that they do at these stopover sites. Or they need to just have the opportunity to set up for an extended period as they overwinter. Jim Morris: John Brennan is a rice grower, farm manager, Ag Business Management graduate from Cal-Poly, and one of those who has embraced wildlife friendly farming. John, why go the extra steps to help wildlife? John Brennan: I've been doing this for 40 years now, every farmer that I know is an environmentalist at some level. And we're the ones that are out there in the environment. We're the ones that get to enjoy the birds. We're the ones that get to see habitat and all the excitement that it brings to the landscape. But on the other side of it, we need to make sure that rice stays relevant in the state of California. And so we're not going to be able to maintain this habitat, as habitat, there's not enough money in the state of California to do that. We need to come up with a farming program that does both, that provides food and provides habitat. Jim Morris: And it is amazing any time of the year, but particularly in the fall and winter, the staggering amount of wildlife that are in rice fields. Is it something that you're used to? Is it still pretty impressive when you drive by and you see tens of thousands of geese in a field? John Brennan: Oh yeah. I don't think you'll ever get used to it, especially when they lift off. And then I think the one thing that we talk about is when we first started talking to the migratory bird partnership, they would quiz us or quiz our growers because we manage a lot of different farm land, if we see shorebirds out there. And I would say, "Well, we see Killdeer." And I didn't realize that everything that we thought was a Killdeer, was a lot of different shorebirds, right? We just didn't recognize the difference. And now 10 years later, most of our growers have bird cards and can identify different birds, and they can tell you exactly where they see those birds, right? John Brennan: Those birds are in one inch of water. Those birds are in mudflats. Those birds are in fields with deeper water. When we give the Bird Day out here at Davis Ranches, we've gone to a flooding program that we just fill up the field. So we fill it up fairly deep, 8 to 10 inches, and then we just shut it off and go to the next field and let it kind of draw down. So when you're out there at Bird Day, you'll see fields that are swans, pelicans, egrets, and then the next field, it'll be geese. And then the next field, it'll be ducks and the next field will be shorebirds. And the next field will be the little shorebirds. And you can just follow them around based on the depth of the water. Jim Morris: Oh, that is awesome. And those who love Japanese cuisine know Nigiri is fish over rice. And the Nigiri Project is a little different. It's an innovative way to help salmon. This project with Cal Trout has been around for a long time and it has yielded promising results. So how can rice fields help salmon? John Brennan: So, this whole discussion about getting fish out of the river onto the floodplain started in the late nineties. So the idea was we'd get more fish out of the river and onto the floodplain. And so, we actually bought the Knaggs Ranch to do the science out there. When they were talking about getting fish out of the Sacramento River and onto the floodplain, in the old bypass, all of the discussions were to put them over seasonal wetland habitat. And our argument was that, "Hey, we're in the rice business, these are the surrogate wetlands. We really just farm rice in the off season, the exciting season's the winter. There's no reason that the fish wouldn't do the same over rice fields in the winter that they do over seasonal wetland habitat." John Brennan: We named it then the Nigiri Project just to keep rice in the discussion, because we were going to do all the science on rice fields, and we didn't want people to forget about the rice, that's why we named it, the Nigiri Project. And so what the project has really shown is that when you get water out there on the floodplain, even though it's been farmed to rice, we still maintain all of those same benefits or can establish, or can garner all those same benefits that you get out there over the traditional floodplain. Jim Morris: And I know that with our Pilot Project at the Rice Commission, that we're also working with UC Davis and Cal Trout, very encouraging results. And there's also growing fish food in the rice fields of the Sacramento Valley and returning that to the river. So very exciting work for salmon. And hopefully there will be progress there, and rice fields will be able to serve salmon just like they are birds right now. So it's a great time for the environment, when you look at Sacramento Valley rice fields. And on that subject, what do you think the future is for wildlife friendly farming in the Sacramento valley? John Brennan: I think for the rice world, there's a tremendous amount of promise. Jim Morris: We've been talking about helping out, not only growing the crop, which supports a lot of different communities and infrastructure in the Sacramento Valley, there's also the environmental needs, birds and fish. So it's a pretty big juggling act this year, I would imagine considering we have a drought. John Brennan: This year, it started off dry and it stayed dry. And so we have all of these environmental conditions that we want to meet on our farm with flooding and some of the habitat that we create and provide here. But then also in the river system where our water supplies are dependent on meeting certain environmental factors with the cold water pool and flows and everything else, and so navigating that and being part of that discussion. But we're rotating out of rice on about 20 percent of our acreage and that complicates things. And that a lot of this is contracted, we have a lot of specialty varieties out here, we're moving fields around. And not knowing exactly which fields are going to have water and which fields aren't going to have water, is also a complex issue for most of the mills to stay up on. And then we have the infrastructure. I mean, we own the dryer there in Robbins. We're going to be at about probably two-thirds capacity. Most of the mills are probably going to be at about two-thirds to 80 percent capacity. And so, keeping the industry healthy and then serving all of our clients, I mean, people buy this rice every year and once we lose out on markets or don't supply rice to the markets, they go somewhere else. And then if there's water next year and we're in business again next year, we have to go out and try and get those markets back again. It's a roller coaster ride and there's more than just the fields to think about. Jim Morris: We're at Conaway Ranch in Yolo County and California Waterfowl Association just released Mallard ducks. They're trying to maintain and enhance that population. Assemblymember, Cecilia Aguiar-Curry is out here. How important are rice fields to help the whole process of preserving our environment, particularly in a year like this, where water is so short? Cecilia Aguiar-Curry: Well, the importance I think is just that number one is that after we collect the eggs and they grow and our little ducks grow, there's got to be a place for them to go into the water. And today we just released them into the water, but I'm concerned that with the drought, if our rice farmers are going to be able to do that, and to help us during this period of time. But that's why winter flooded rice is so important. Jim Morris: And in Northern California, in the Sacramento Valley, in particular, when you see that wildlife in the rice fields, all the birds, how does it make you feel? Cecilia Aguiar-Curry: It makes me feel relieved. It makes me feel like there's hope. It makes me feel like there's the beauty that we have all around us in Northern California and then to appreciate every single moment of it, and not to take away, but to help enhance what we have and to continue it for our future. Jim Morris: That wraps up this episode. Thank you to CBS 13 Sacramento for granting us use of an excerpt and the rice coverage.

Western history has a way of making legends out of men or animals, and sometimes it is difficult to separate the facts from the legend. On this date in 1936 one such legend was roaming the bad lands of the Killdeer Mountains at the head of a herd of cattle. Known as Traveling Jenny, she was the Monarch of the Plains and belonged to the William Connolly spread near Killdeer.
One of the deadliest foodborne epidemics in North Dakota killed 13 people, 12 of them in mere days, after a dinner party in 1931 in Grafton. Seventeen people attended the neighborly get-together. The deaths resulted from a botulism linked to a salad made with home-canned peas. Five of the dead were from one family. State health and regulatory officials investigated the tragedy, which came days after other major North Dakota news items, including a notorious lynching near Watford City and the death of a pioneer cowboy who knew Theodore Roosevelt from their Medora days.

While glancing out my window the other day, I noticed a killdeer in my neighbor’s unpaved gravel driveway. I was reminded of the first time that I noticed a killdeer when I was a child. As I was walking up our gravel driveway, my attention was drawn to a killdeer in distress. The bird appeared to have a broken wing. Insistently and loudly repeating its name in call, it staggered forward, hugging the ground, with one of its wings distended as if broken.
So much has happened to prepare for equinox. Red-winged blackbirds have joined the starlings and grackles. Killdeer and mockingbirds are calling, bluebirds singing. Robins begin their predawn chorus just after 7:00 a.m. Cardinals and doves are calling around 7:15. Later in the day, flickers and pileated woodpeckers call. Honeybees will be flying then, and the first green-bottle flies. Garter snakes will lie out sunning. When I took inventory around the yard today, I saw verything had changed since my last accounting at the end of February: Snow crocus and and aconites and hellebores and snowdrops were in full bloom, two small jonquils open, deadnettle, small flowered cress, and blue eyes all blossoming. There were first flowers on several forsythia bushes, mid-season crocus budded, daffodils eight to ten inches tall and well budded, day lilies five inches, tulips ten inches, Canadian thistles three inches, peonies three inches and leafing, red quince leafing and buds cracking, rhubarb

S2 E7: Atmospheric Beasts This time, on Counting Cryptids: We discuss, UFOs, clouds, and the infamous Atmospheric Beasts. For the uninitiated, Atmospheric Beasts is a term used to describe giant, amoeba shaped, creatures that live in, you guessed it, the atmosphere. Basically flying jellyfish. It is suggested that these, mostly invisible, beasts are carnivorous, and potentially responsible for a slew of animal mutilations, and missing persons. When one of these creatures dies, they become more visible, and their bodies condense into a quickly evaporating, translucent jelly, affectionately known as star jelly. Star jelly, which is a substance that has been found all over the world dating back to the 14th century, is a well-known phenomenon that is tied to meteor showers, bacteria, and even frog spawn. Could these centuries old mysteries be explained by creatures that have been living above our heads this whole time? Are these beings native to Earth, or could they have come from the stars themselves? And just what the hell is frog spawn? Join us, Cryptid Counters, as we roll up our sleeves, and dig through the metaphorical frog spawn that is Atmospheric Beasts.

Momma Killdeer by Hancock Assembly of God
I met with Phil Hall, whose latest collection of poems, Killdeer, has just won the Canadian Governor General's Literary Award for English Poetry. It's a sensitive, engaging, revealing work that incorporates narrative essay, life philosophy and literary criticism into its stanzas. In sharp contrast to the arrogant, impenetrable and solipsistic, Hall's poetry is humbly presented, accessible, beautiful, pastoral, reflective and at times profound. Listen here as we talk about brown speckled eggs and fiddle tunes, imbalance and literary prize juries, lying, distraction, pain, what's important, plus theatre and spectacle, truth and doubt.
