Sen. Barry DeKay, a rancher from Niobrara, introduced a bill at the request of Gov. Jim Pillen that would ban the manufacturing, sale and distribution of cultured protein products. These products are made by cultivating animal stem cells for several weeks and combining them with other ingredients. They are not yet for sale in Nebraska. DeKay said he wants the product banned until there is more information about its health ramifications.

Escribí este retrato de una de mis áreas naturales favoritas cerca de Missoula, Montana, EU en el otoño de 2022—y ahora lo acabo de traducir al español con el apoyo de Lynda Saul. (También grabé el podcast en inglés de nuevo, incluyendo más sonidos de la naturaleza.) Me gusta esta historia bastante, y quería volver a visitarla ya porque tiene tantas conexiones con varias otras historias que he publicado en los últimos meses sobre los ríos, las conexiones de agua y aves migratorias y prestar atención a los sonidos de la naturaleza. Este podcast incluye grabaciones del campo que hice del borboteo del Río Clark Fork, de la brisa por los álamos y de un carbonero cabecinegro (Poecile atricapillus) desde el área de Kelly Island, cerca de Missoula. También incluye un segmento breve con un coyote (Canis latrans) y un tecolote del este (Megascops asio) al lado del Río Niobrara en el estado de Nebraska, EU y un saltapared feliz (Pheugopedius felix), unos pericos frente naranja (Eupsittula canicularis), un luisito común (Myiozetetes similis) y un saltador gris mesoamericano (Saltator grandis) desde el Río Huatulco de Oaxaca, México.

[EN/ES] 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep sounds featuring the autumn Niobrara River landscape depicted in Episode 76: A Portrait of Nature along the Niobrara River. Soothing river noises blend with the voices of crickets and other nocturnal insects, and an eastern screech-owl (Megascops asio) gives its beautiful whinny. Sounds recorded by me, Shane Sater. 10 horas de sonidos de la naturaleza para dormir, sin interrupción. Se presentan algunos sonidos del paisaje otoñal del Río Niobrara retratados en Episodio 75: Un Relato de la Naturaleza cerca del Río Niobrara. Los sonidos relajantes del río se mezclan con las voces de los grillos y otros insectos nocturnos mientras se escucha el relincho lindo de un tecolote del este (Megascops asio). Los sonidos fueron grabados todos por mí, Shane Sater.
Este episodio celebra los sonidos, las vistas y los acontecimientos de la naturaleza a lo largo del Río Niobrara de Nebraska, Estados Unidos. Un joven búho cornudo chilla por la noche y los coyotes aúllan desde las laderas cubiertas en pinos, como si Halloween hubiera llegado temprano a este bosque de septiembre. Escuchamos un tecolote del este, aprendemos sobre la abundancia de plantas y aves en los hábitats ribereños, y oímos un coro diverso de insectos nocturnos, la mayoría de los que no reconozco. Este podcast es repleto de los sonidos naturalísticos de la noche al lado del Río Niobrara. Durante el año que viene, estoy emocionado para seguir produciendo más retratos basados en un lugar que presenten los cantos de las aves y otros sonidos naturales—así que, si tienes pensamientos sobre este enfoque, ¡por favor hazme saber! Esta historia comienza con mi imitación silbada de un tecolote del este, seguida inmediatamente por el verdadero tecolote y los sonidos nocturnos de los insectos cerca del río. Otras grabaciones presentadas en este episodio incluyen los chillidos de un presunto joven búho cornudo, la música nocturna de los coyotes, y otros sonidos de los insectos por la noche, todas grabadas al lado del Río Niobrara. También presento el canto de un chipe grande que grabé cerca del Río Missouri en Montana.

This episode celebrates the sounds, sights, and happenings of nature along Nebraska's Niobrara River. A young great horned owl screeches in the night and coyotes howl from the pine-covered hillsides, as if Halloween has come early to this September forest. We hear an eastern screech-owl, learn about the abundant plant and bird life of riparian habitats, and listen to a diverse and mostly unknown (to me) chorus of nighttime insects. This podcast is rich in the natural sounds of the Niobrara River night. In the year ahead, I'm excited to continue producing more place-based portraits featuring birdsong and other natural sounds—so if you have thoughts on this approach, let me know! This story begins with my whistled imitation of an eastern screech-owl, immediately followed by the real eastern screech-owl and the nighttime insect sounds along the river. Other recordings featured in this episode include the screams of a suspected juvenile great horned owl, nocturnal coyote music, and more nighttime insect sounds, all along the Niobrara River. I also feature a yellow-breasted chat song that I recorded along the Missouri River in Montana.

It's a busy summer folks! But, the boys carved out some time to talk shit and spit facts. Virtual reality is here and AI is around the corner ready to pounce on our jobs, crunchy peanut butter vs. creamy and winter is coming. All of that and who knows what else, we were doing some whiskeys so, enjoy.
Trymby kicks out a killer continental breakfast for the guests of Comfort Inn hotel in Valentine, Nebraska every morning. Today I caught up with her about the tourism that brings a constant flow of people to a small town in north central Nebraska year round. Right now the Sturgis Motorcycle rally is going on, the Niobrara river is a popular destination for a day of leisure spent floating down the river (she told me people have started to use cattle tanks as a dry option to float as well), rodeos and bull bashes and more. Trmybys advice to people is just show up and have fun, be courteous and kind!

Hear about a new partnership between the National Park Service and the Nebraska Writing Project that is under development and moving toward a planned river float for area high school students to allow them to experience the Niobrara River in a way they may not have done in the past. The Nebraska Writing Project is planning writing experiences in the areas of the significant river ecology, paleontology, Native American history and use, the historical Fort Niobrara cavalry including buffalo soldiers, railroaders, homesteaders, and ranchers. More About Niobrara The Niobrara Scenic River lies in Cherry County, Nebraska, the largest county in Nebraska comprising an area of 6,009 square miles of which 49 square miles is water. Cherry County which abuts South Dakota on its northern border is Nebraska's largest county in land area and larger than the state of Connecticut, or the states of Delaware and Rhode Island combined. Running through Cherry County is the Niobrara River, 568 miles long, from its head in Wyoming to its mouth on the Missouri in the state of Nebraska. Seventy-six miles of the Niobrara have been designated a National Scenic River. The Niobrara National Scenic River will be the third jewel in the crown of National Park Service/Nebraska Writing Project Partnerships.

The Badlands of South Dakota are filled with the fossils of fascinating and surprising prehistoric animals: saber-toothed cats, large-headed pigs, and even the first camels.
Hace unos 85 millones de años, a finales del Cretácico, Norteamérica estaba dividida en dos por un mar interior cálido y poco profundo que cruzaba el continente de norte a sur, desde el Ártico hasta el Caribe. Era el mar de Niobrara. En sus costas vivían aves y pterosaurios que se alimentaban de los peces que proliferaban en sus aguas. Uno de los pterosaurios más abundantes en la región, y también uno de los más grandes, era Pteranodon, cuyos fósiles se han encontrado en los estados de Kansas, Alabama, Nebraska, Wyoming y Dakota del Sur. Pteranodon es uno de los pterosaurios más populares; con su característica cresta aparece en muchas películas, desde la versión de 1925 de “El mundo perdido” y la de 1933 de “King Kong”, hasta “Dinosaurio” de Disney, en 2000, y la franquicia de “Parque Jurásico”.
Hace unos 80 millones de años, a finales del Cretácico, el nivel del mar era más alto que en la actualidad, y un brazo de mar atravesaba las tierras bajas del centro de Norteamérica. Era el mar de Niobrara, o mar Interior Occidental, que en el momento de mayor extensión alcanzó unos mil kilómetros de anchura, unos 750 metros de profundidad y una longitud de más de 3 000 kilómetros, desde el noroeste de Canadá hasta el este de México. Allí vivía Archelon, la tortuga marina más grande de la que tenemos noticia.
