Podcasts about ornithologists

Ornithologist, author and regular contributor Eric Dempsey has had Sparrowhawks on his mind too. In recent days, a newly fledged hawk has taken up residence close to his house in Co. Wicklow and has literally been screaming loudly for its parents to bring it food.

In 1960, a commercial flight was struck by a flock of birds, resulting in a deadly crash. Evidence was sent to the Smithsonian, where a woman named Roxie Laybourne successfully identified the species of bird involved. That case began her career as the first forensic ornithologist – and Laybourne's work is the subject of Chris Sweeney's new book, The Feather Detective. In today's episode, Sweeney joins NPR's Scott Simon for a conversation about Laybourne's unique expertise, her influence on aviation safety, and the sexism she faced as a female scientist.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This week's fascinating guest is ornithologist and birdsong enthusiast Seán Ronayne. Seán is on a mission to record every single one of the 200 birdsongs in Ireland and his journey to do so has been nothing short of incredible. Seán's work is proof that nature is something that we can truly connect to through the simple act of listening.Seán's wonderful book Nature Boy: A Journey of Birdsong and Belonging was the winner of the Dubray Books biography of the year and when you hear him speak you'll understand exactly why. Seán invites us to slow down and truly listen - not just to ourselves, but to the world around us. Through his work, Sean reminds us of the deep connection between nature and presence, showing how the simple act of listening can ground us in the moment and open our hearts to wonder. In this conversation we also look at the role his neurodivergence diagnosis has played in unlocking his passions and self discovery, how love has opened up his world and how a near fatal illness transformed the way he sees the world.If you want to catch Seán on his nationwide tour of theatres in which he discusses his fascinating work, visit www.irishwildlifesounds.com for all tour dates.If you're new to the series, why not take the time to go back and catch up on the wonderful interviews that you may have missed!Visit www.dermotwhelan.com for more information and don't forget my new book Busy and Wrecked is out now!

National Bird Feeding month is a month to help birds survive the winter by providing food, water, and shelter. February is one of the most difficult months for birds to survive because of limited food and cold temperatures. This month is meant to educate people about wild bird feeding and watching. Dan Brauning and Brian Byrns made an appearance on The Spark to share more information about Bird watching. Dan Bruaning is a leading Ornithologist who has dedicated his life to studying and protecting birds in Pennsylvania. He’s worked with the Game Commission for over 30 years, lead major bird atlas projects, and even co-authored The Birds of Pennsylvania.

Ornithologist, professor, poet, and essayist J. Drew Lanham joins us to discuss Joy Is the Justice We Give Ourselves (Hub City Press, April 2), “another luminous mixture of prose and poetry…. that memorably, vibrantly shows how choosing joy is an act of resilience, courage, and power” (starred review). Then our editors share their top picks in books for the week.

It's difficult to imagine a more intense rivalry than Humans and Geese. We eat them at Christmas time, they terrorise our picnics. It's a feud as old as time, with countless tears and bloodshed, and yet we are doomed to torture each other as long as we both walk this Earth. Championing the Goose's side of the war, while still acknowledging the living chaos that our feathered friends rain upon mankind, is Ornithologist, host of the "How Many Geese?" podcast, and first EVER returning guest: Jack Baddams, who exhibits what we like to call "BGE" or Big Goose Energy. Jack joins Alice this week to discuss why Geese are the antithesis to the British public, the crazy story behind Barnacle Geese, AND why we should all "be more Goose" when we need a dash of brazen confidence. Our Charity of the Week this week is the WWT - the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, who are not only protecting the habitat where Geese (and other birds) roam, but have been pivotal in the repopulation of the Hawaiian Goose!

Ornithologist, author and nature tour guide Jim Wilson and Photographer Mark Carmody chat about their new book Birds of Ireland: A Field Guide – 2nd Edition.

First-time guest and recent DU Canada postdoctoral researcher, Dr. Sarah Gutowsky, joins Dr. Mike Brasher for a trip around the world studying birds, leading polar expeditions, and an immersive life in science and conservation. Having visited some of Earth's most remote and inaccessible locations, including Midway Atoll in the North Pacific, Wrangel Island in the Chukchi Sea, the Kuril Islands and the Sea of Okhotsk, Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island in the South Atlantic, Kerguelen in the southern Indian Ocean, and the New Zealand sub-Antarctic Islands, Sarah brings a view of the wonder and expansiveness of our planet that few possess. What advice does she have for others seeking a similar career, what was it like to meet “Wisdom,” the oldest known wild bird on Earth, was being seasick for 2 consecutive weeks worth the payoff, and what did we learn from her recent research on common eiders and harlequin ducks? See for yourself why we've dubbed Sarah our “ornithological badass.”www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

When we last left Teddy he found himself with the keys to the kingdom. William McKinley's untimely assassination thrust Teddy into the Presidency and he didn't waste time using those powers to start fighting for the common man, taking on corporations to ensure a fair shake for employees, designating areas of the country as protected land for future generations to enjoy. His time in office ended due to a weird series of events caused by T-man himself. Once he left office he travelled the world, before the itch to lead the country and deal with unfinished business became to much for him handle and he through his hat back into the political arena. Beyond politics he went on another adventure that sounds like the plot of an Indiana Jones movie, a journey that would change the remaining years of his life.

Te Papa curator and ornithologist Colin Miskelly is heading out of the museum and walking the length of Aotearoa to document and count every single bird he sees and hears along the way!

Dearest Listeners, it's finally time to put all those crumbs to good use as we head to the lake to feed the ducks (and other assorted waterfowl) during our Polin rewatch of S2E5 An Unthinkable Fate. As Colin frets over which cake to eat next from his plate of snacks, Pen frets over the state of her business and family affairs. We also join our beloved pair at the Serpentine for a heart-to-oblivious-heart as Colin proves that telling the difference between ducks and swans is harder than we thought. An Ornithologist, he is not. Elsewhere, we console ourselves over the latest Season 3 speculation and head on down to the circus to share a very special crack theory with the crowds. * Ways to Support Strikers and Entertainment Workers During the SAG-AFTRA Strike ⁠Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund⁠ ⁠Donate to Emergency Financial Assistance and Disaster Relief Fund for SAG-AFTRA Members⁠ ⁠Donate to The Union Solidarity Coalition ⁠ ⁠Donate to the MPTF Emergency Fund⁠ ⁠Change.org petition for below-the-line strike workers⁠ ⁠Deadline: Information about below-the-line workers petition⁠ ⁠Business Insider: How to support SAG-AFTRA/WGA strikes⁠ ⁠Blog: What can fans do while WGA & SAG-AFTRA are on strike?⁠ ⁠Variety: Info on SAG-AFTRA strike⁠ ⁠Huffington Post: Ways to support writers and actors on strike⁠ ⁠Deadline: Strike Talk Podcast⁠ ⁠IATSE Petition to Disney ⁠ * Show Notes Hello!

Fewer than 20 people have seen more than 9,000 species, and nobody has reached 10,000, though Kaestner is closing in on it. For this episode of our Summer Read series, Ornithologist and writer Jessie Williamson tags along with him on a rollicking South American adventure.

Feathers tell us all sorts of things about birds. They are beautiful to look at, help us identify individual bird species, protect birds from the elements, and they're the reason birds can take flight. Ornithologists can tell us even more about birds thanks to feather measurements and samples. Some research labs even can measure where the carbon in feathers comes from, which tells us a lot about avian diets and migration patterns. However, before we get too deep down the rabbit hole regarding ornithological research, it's important to start at the beginning. What are feathers, and how many types of feathers are there? To answer these questions, I consulted the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Handbook of Bird Biology from 2016.

Ornithologist (bird scientist), poet, and author Drew Lanham was recently awarded the Macarthur Genius Grant—$800,000 with no strings attached. But despite his deep love for birds he almost never studied the creatures at all. As a young man, he won a full-ride scholarship to any school he wanted, only this award did have strings attached. Drew would have to give up his dreams of ecology and instead be an engineer. Hear how Drew was saved first from a career he loathed by the lilting song of a prairie warbler and then how a chicken saved Drew from going into the military to be a pilot. Instead, it set him on the true path of his heart, to study the magical flying creatures we call birds.   Thanks for listening!

This episode—which is Number 63—is about the Common Raven, Corvus corax. This species is also known as the Northern Raven.Few bird species in the world are as geographically widespread as the Common Raven. And few are as familiar and iconic. This is a really amazing bird.Ornithologists and other scientists have studied ravens extensively, so we know quite a lot about this species.Today, we'll look at the basic traits of the Common Raven as well as its behavior, habitats, diet, reproduction, and more.~~ Leave me a review using Podchaser ~~Link to this episode on the Science of Birds websiteSupport the show

Jared Diamond is an author, geographer, historian, and ornithologist. Jared joins the Armchair Expert to discuss what his thoughts are on the future state of the world, what motivated him to write books about human societies, and what factors contribute to the rise and fall of civilizations. Jared and Dax talk about why European societies were driven to compete with each other, why some people are obsessed with the "end of days" concept, and what it means to be considered a polymath. Jared explains how he got interested in birdwatching, how the spread of disease affected colonization throughout history, and how many languages he learned over the course of his travels.
