Podcasts about migratory birds

It's springtime, which means ducks are migrating north to their breeding grounds and hunters are wondering what they'll encounter when they get there. Dr. Scott Stephens joins Dr. Mike Brasher for an update on breeding habitat conditions across the prairies, boreal forest, and Alaska, including prognostications of what he expects to hear once the survey results are released later this year. And yes, Breeding Population surveys are expected to happen, but the long-term future is uncertain. Join this episode for early insights on what the ducks might be encountering and why maps still can't take the place of boots on the ground.Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.org

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes guests Justin Proctor, Ruth Bennett, and John Keitz for a discussion on Bird Friendly Coffee. The conversation starts with Janet introducing Justin, a conservation biologist at the Smithsonian's National Zoo Conservation Biology Institute (formerly known as Smithsonian Conservation Research Center,) who speaks about his excitement regarding bird-friendly coffee. He explains that bird-friendly coffee is an initiative by the Smithsonian to promote coffee farming that preserves habitats for birds and other wildlife. Ruth Bennett, who heads up the Bird Friendly Coffee team, provides an in-depth explanation of what bird-friendly coffee certification entails. She describes the traditional method of growing coffee under shade canopies, which is beneficial for biodiversity, supporting a variety of birds, monkeys, and other wildlife. In contrast, she explains the environmental downfalls of sun-grown coffee plantations that emerged in the 1970s. Ruth shares that the Smithsonian developed the bird-friendly certification to reward farmers who maintain sustainable practices. This certification requires farms to preserve native tree canopies, grow organic coffee, and avoid harmful pesticides to foster a healthy habitat for wildlife. She emphasizes that the bird-friendly certification is strict and more meaningful compared to labels like 'shade-grown.' Janet and Justin emphasize the importance of understanding coffee labels and the real impact of bird-friendly coffee. They discuss how buying bird-friendly certified coffee supports not only environmental sustainability but also improves the quality of life for coffee farmers. Ruth explains the meticulous process that goes into bird-friendly certification, ensuring that consumers can trust the label. John Keitz, co-owner of Wuuds Coffee, shares his journey of starting the coffee business and meeting Justin at a local farmer's market. This encounter led to Wuuds Coffee becoming bird-friendly certified. John recounts how easy and beneficial the certification process was and how it aligns with their mission of conscious consumerism and environmental responsibility. Janet, Justin, and John discuss the taste and quality of bird-friendly coffee. John assures listeners that bird-friendly coffee not only supports biodiversity but also tastes better due to its longer development under shade, free from harmful chemicals. Ruth further explains the scientific backing that bird-friendly coffee has better soil quality and beneficial microbiomes. In conclusion, Janet encourages listeners to seek out bird-friendly certified coffee, discussing local options to obtain it. Learn more about the bird-friendly coffee program by clicking here.

October 12th is World Migratory Bird Day, a global campaign that aims to raise awareness of migratory birds and the need for international cooperation to conserve them. This year's theme for the campaign is “Protect Insects, Protect Birds,” underscoring the importance of invertebrates to migratory birds. Xerces is also, for the first time, an official partner in World Migratory Bird Day, so we are focusing this episode on the intersection between birds and bugs.To talk about this incredibly important relationship we are joined by Chris Elphick, Professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Connecticut, where he is also affiliated with the university's Center of Biological Risk. Chris is a conservation biologist, an applied ecologist, or an ornithologist, depending on his mood (his words, not mine). His research interests span behavioral, population, community, and landscape ecology.Thank you for listening! For more information go to xerces.org/bugbanter.

In this episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast, we sit down with Houston Havens, the Waterfowl Program Coordinator at MDWFP, to explore dove hunting in Mississippi. Houston shares insights into Mississippi's resident and migratory dove populations, habitat management, and the state's dove banding program. The conversation also touches on the broader world of migratory birds, including Canada geese and teal, as well as the importance of proper hunting regulations. Whether you're a seasoned dove hunter or new to the sport, this episode offers valuable information on hunting practices and wildlife conservation. Hosted on Acast.

Some migratory birds are so laden with plastic they can no longer fly. It is not only large pieces in birds' stomachs, but fine particles impacting their cells.

“Shallow water habitat management influences soil CO2 efflux from agricultural fields in the Lower Mississippi River Basin (LMRB), USA” with Amitava Chatterjee. The Lower Mississippi River Basin (LMRB) serves as a critical stopover habitat for migratory birds traveling between Canada and Central and South America, presenting both challenges and opportunities for habitat conservation. To support these birds, farmers in the region flood agricultural fields in the winter, creating temporary wetlands that provide habitat and essential food sources. This practice has increased bird stopovers but raises concerns about soil health, as flooding can alter soil properties. In this episode, Dr. Amitava Chatterjee shares his insights on research related to the effects of flooding on soil properties in agricultural lands in the LMRB and how it contributes to maintaining sustainable stopover habitats for migratory birds. Tune in to learn: ·         What migratory bird stopovers are ·         How flooding of agricultural lands helps migratory birds ·         How flooding of agricultural land affects soil health ·         How flooding affects soil microbial activity ·         What are the long-term impacts of agricultural land flooding If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/agg2.20365 This paper is always freely available.

Whether good years or bad, North American duck hunters probably harvest more ducks annually than the remainder of the world combined. There, I said it. Prove me wrong. This amazing feat is accomplished using science-based management that emphasizes maximum sustained yield and is the world's envy. A duck hunter since childhood, Brad Bortner is former USFWS Chief of Migratory Birds. While his job description encompassed far more than just waterfowl, he guides us through the murky, too oftentimes misunderstood swamp of managing North America duck populations and harvests, shining a q-beam on need-to-know, by-the-numbers topics. What goes into setting duck seasons and bag limits? What's adaptive harvest management (AHM) and how does it compare to models used elsewhere worldwide? How accurate are these estimates? Why aren't waterfowl surveys like counting piggy bank coins? What about the 2-year time lag between population surveys, harvest estimates and season settings--why does this time lag exist, should we be concerned? What is HIP (Harvest Information Program), what's its relevance, how's it used, and how can each citizen-scientist duck hunter improve harvest estimate accuracy--and why should we care? Listen. The duck hunting world is buzzing around these topics right now. Be well informed.   ********** "You get what you put in, and people get what they deserve." - Kid Rock **********     Visit MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Sponsors:   MOJO Outdoors  Benelli Shotguns BOSS Shotshells Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys  HuntProof Premium Waterfowl App Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Tetra Hearing Tom Beckbe Voormi GetDucks.com USHuntList.com     Please subscribe, rate and review Mojo's Duck Season Somewhere podcast.

Freshwater is a basic requirement of all birds, but it can be in short supply during extreme drought and in marine environments. In these situations, how do birds cope, can they drink salt water, and how might it affect their health? Dr. Sarah Gutowsky, quantitative wildlife biologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, joins Dr. Mike Brasher to discuss the adaptations that birds use for helping overcome the challenges and stresses of saltwater. From salt glands that remove salt from the blood to extraction of freshwater from food and behavioral changes to access dietary fresh water, we learn that birds are quite skilled at dealing with salty systems.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

Spring is a time for waterfowl nesting, and it's also a time when our feathered friends venture into our neighborhoods and back yards looking for a safe place to lay eggs and raise their brood. On this episode, Dr. Mike Brasher and guest host Dr. Jerad Henson are joined by Tim Jasinski of the Lake Erie Nature and Science Center to share expert advice on how to deal with these annual visitors. As a wildlife rehab specialist, Tim is always eager to provide guidance and insight on the curious ways of waterfowl and other wildlife that make unexpected and sometimes unwelcome entrances into our world. Covering everything from injured birds to aggressive geese, hen mallards in flower pots, and duckling in swimming pools, there aren't many things Tim hasn't experienced. Join us as we learn from the expert and hear a few fascinating stories in the process. And the question we all need answered… Should I feed bread to park ducks??www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

Why mudflats are vital for dwindling numbers of birds that stop over seasonally. Synopsis (headphones recommended): In this new 4-part environment podcast series for 2024 - Green Trails - The Straits Times hits the ground with experts in spaces that are critical to the interlinked crises the planet faces: climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. The next episode drops in June. For this inaugural episode, our team heads to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, the local haven for birds that travel across the world to refuel at. The society - one of the island's oldest non-governmental organisations - convinced the government to preserve Sungei Buloh as a wetland reserve by showing officials the diversity of birds that depend on the spot. ST journalist Ang Qing takes a walk with representatives from the Nature Society (Singapore) - Veronica Foo and Tan Gim Cheong. They talk about the lesser-known Mandai Mangrove and Mudflat, which is key to supporting the thousands of migratory shorebirds that stop over in Singapore between August and March, and why it should also receive full protection from the law.

This episode quacks me up. Fisheries management to produce quality fishing often requires actions that are counterproductive to attracting migratory ducks and vice versa. But in this episode, we'll talk about some ways that you might be able to have the best of both worlds. Wes sits down with two leading experts in the duck realm, and they brainstorm on what can be done to bring more ducks to a small pond without necessarily hurting fishing opportunities. Any you'll receive wonderful egg-splanantion on the intricacies of duck biology, including how to deal with pesky resident geese. If you migrate to the link and listen to podcast, I promise I will quit quacking duck puns.     Do you have questions or comments?

Artist Debra Ramsay became fascinated with the way that birds and their colors mark changes in the seasons. In her “Migrations” project, she painted species seen in New York's Central Park, creating an abstract design from the three main colors of each bird. Debra layered colors into thick plexiglass panels, so the paintings appear to change when seen from different angles.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Wildlife biologist Janet Ng works for the Canadian Wildlife Service. And for her waterbird surveys, one of the most important tools of her trade is a kayak. Many species that breed in the Arctic pass through lakes in southern Saskatchewan on their way north, making it a great place to survey the birds' populations and track how they're doing year to year. But some birds are hard to see, hidden in cattails. So counting them by kayak gives biologists a chance to observe more birds.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

The night sky holds more than the moon and stars. It's also home to migrating birds that mostly make their journeys at night. I chat with Andrew Farnsworth of Cornell Lab of Ornithology about the impact of light pollution on migrating birds. He shares easy solutions that homeowners and business owners can use to help protect our feathered friends from collisions with buildings while navigating at night.

With over $1.1 Billion raised and 6 Million acres conserved, the Federal Duck Stamp Program is the most successful and efficient wetlands conservation program on the planet. Katie Burke and Mike Brasher go behind the scenes with Jerome Ford, assistant director of USFWSMigratory Bird Program, and Suzanne Fellows, manager of USFWS Duck Stamp Program, to learn about its history, conservation successes, art competitions, and new efforts underway to grow interest and investments in this iconic program.www.ducks.org/DUPodcastwww.fws.gov/service/buy-duck-stamp-or-e-stamp

Dr. Richard Webby, faculty member at St Jude Children's Research Hospital and global expert on influenza viruses, joins Drs. Mike Brasher, Karen Waldrop, and DU staff for a look back on the 2022 Avian Flu outbreak. In this science-heavy episode we ask where it came from, is it here to stay, and what can we expect going forward? We also learn why it is showing up in mammals and what this means for our pets. Also, will mutations increase the human health risk and are waterfowl hunters at higher risk?www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

With season planning well underway, I thought what better show than one on the Traveling Duck Hunter. And who better to discuss this than Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame inductee, Bill Miller.  VP of Content Creation for Delta Waterfowl, Bill has been traveling to chase waterfowl for more than three decades and knows a thing or two about what it takes to get into the right position to find ducks.  Waterfowl hunters know that traveling to find migratory wildlife is a gamble. Birds that are here today and gone tomorrow pose a risk for someone traveling several hundreds or thousands of miles to hunt them. Today, Bill gives us some inside information on when, where and how to hunt migratory waterfowl of the traveling duck hunter. https://deltawaterfowl.org/

Utah’s Great Salt Lake has been plagued by excessive water use and extensive drought conditions.  As of January, the lake dropped to record-low water levels, losing 73% of its water and exposing 60% of its lakebed. According to scientists, the lake could disappear entirely within five years. Great Salt Lake is what is known as […]

Birds have it going on. Many of these winged dinosaurs delight us with their song and brilliant plumage. Migratory birds travel thousands of miles in a display of endurance that would make an Olympic athlete gasp. We inquire about these daunting migrations and how birds can fly for days without rest. And what can we do to save disappearing species? Will digital tracking technology help? Plus, how 19th century bird-lovers, appalled by feathered hats, started the modern conservation movement. Guests: Scott Weidensaul – Ornithologist and naturalist and author of “A World on the Wing: the Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds.” Kassandra Ford – Doctoral candidate in evolutionary biology at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Michelle Nijhuis – Science journalist and author of “Beloved Beasts: Fighting for Life in an Age of Extinction.” Originally aired May 10, 2021 Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake Big Picture Science is part of the Airwave Media podcast network. Please contact sales@advertisecast.com to inquire about advertising on Big Picture Science.
