It started with a modern plea for help: "Can I charge my dead phone in your bookstore?" I was in Del Mar, California, walking up the coast of the Pacific Ocean after birding all morning in ​Torrey Pines​. I was tracking my birds on ​eBird​—the ​Peregrine Falcons​, ​Anna's Hummingbirds​, and ​California Scrub-Jays​—and, of course, completely drained my phone's battery. When I get to Del Mar I spy this hobbit-hole looking bookstore called ​Camino Books: For The Road Ahead​ and when I walk in I am suddenly thrust into a gorgeous Biblio Paradise. Camino Books is one of the most spectacular bookstores I've ever seen! I fall into the handwritten Staff Picks walls, nookish children's section, incredible curation, giant hand-drawn posters from Dave Eggers, and the Wonka-like atmosphere that creates a true feast for the eyes and mind! But yeah ... my phone's dead. So I walk to the back counter and ask the gentleman unpacking boxes if I could plug it in back there. When I tell him I'm Canadian he gives me a quirky grin and says, "How many tariffs should I put on your free charge?" We laugh and start talking about the political scene. John has the aura of ​George Saunders​—a certain "warm gnarliness"—and he tells me, "We have no left wing in this country. We're like an eagle slowly swirling to the ground with just one right wing." And I could immediately tell this poetic bookselling Jedi master needed to be recorded... What emerges are the poetic distillations of 67-year-old John the Bookseller, along with his wife Alison who cameos at the end. They have been booksellers since 1981 ... a combined 88 years! No wonder the store's so great. They began in Berkeley and then opened up an independent bookstore chain called Diesel Books, up and down the California coast, and now have sold the store to open up a little new shop on the coast called Camino Books: For the Road Ahead. Don't we all need a good book for the road ahead? Let's talk about how to open a bookstore, California independence, fighting fascism, George Orwell, the 51st state, customers vs. readers, Susan Cain, the Spanish Civil War, how to 'stay awake,' and, of course, John and Alison's 3 most formative books. This is the kind of mind-opening conversation that great bookstores create. Let's head down to Del Mar, California as we flip the page to Chapter 149 now...

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports peregrine falcons adapt well to city living as their coastal cousins struggle with bird flu.

Peregrine falcons have been in residence at the University of Glasgow's Gilbert Scott Tower for a number of years now, with a new clutch of chicks being born again this year. Rachel met with Clarke Elsby from the university and John Simpson, from the Scottish Ornithologists Club, to get a glimpse of these magnificent birds of prey. Solsgirth Home Farm near Dollar is home to a large variety of animals, from sheep, to pigs, to emu. Owned and run by veterinarian Jan Dixon, the farm is passionate about reconnecting people to the realities of farm life. Mark went along to find out more about the ethos behind the farm. Trees are a strong source of inspiration for many creative arts, and one such artist is harpist and singer Mary McMaster, who has been working on a new composition called For the Love of Trees. Helen Needham met with Mary in the Royal Botanic Gardens to find out how woodlands have shaped her work. The Moffat Spitfire has been a local landmark for several years now. The plane has long been located in the garden of retired local GP Dr Hamish MacLeod, and has raised money for several military charities. Now, it is being given new significance, as part of a memorial for Air Chief Marshall Hugh Dowding, who was instrumental in coordinating defensive measures during the Battle of Britain. Mark met with Hamish at his home in Moffat to hear more about Dowding, and the plane itself. Ospreys are back across Scotland, and people across the world are following along on live cameras hosted at sites such as RSPB Loch Garten. Mark and Rachel hear from the Visitor Experience Manager Clark Evans about what an exciting – and sometimes drama-filled - time of year it is on the reserve. The glasshouse and walled garden in the centre of Banff was once home to fruit trees and grapes, grown for the imposing Duff House. Now, it has been transformed into The Vinery - a local community employment hub, teaching classes on all manner of topics, including gardening. Mark met with the gardener, Michelle Walker, to hear more about the opportunities The Vinery is provides to the local community.

What if the natural world could compose a symphony? Join us as we explore this captivating question in our latest episode featuring Martyn Stewart and singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer ONR.Born Robert Shields and hailing from from Dumfriesshire in South Scotland, ONR's distinctive compositions, vocals and exceptional musical capability have captured the imagination of some of the world's biggest acts and most respected musicians; one of ONR's breakout moments being his collaboration with legendary guitarist and producer Nile Rodgers, who became a huge fan and supporter after having happened to see ONR recording at Abbey Road Studios. Rodgers said of Shields in a recent Forbes interview, “he reminds me of working with Daft Punk. His sense of composition is just wonderfully chaotic."Discover how an impromptu Zoom call ignited Martyn's passion for intertwining the audio of Scotland's breathtaking landscapes with music. The magic of Scotland's Western Isles, the Highlands, and the historically rich Culloden Moor and Glencoe are not just backdrops but essential players in this unique musical collaboration.Listeners will be taken on an emotional journey, particularly through the track "You and I," inspired by the Solway Firth. This piece holds profound emotional significance for Robert, offering a deeply personal narrative woven into the melody. You'll hear about the challenges and rewards of composing music driven solely by the rhythms and sounds of nature, from the daunting cries of Peregrine Falcons in Dalbeattie to the serene ambiance of Scotland's untouched wilderness.The episode culminates in a heartfelt reflection on the transformative power of this artistic endeavor. Martyn and Robert share their gratitude for the creative freedom and inspiration this project has brought into their lives. We invite our listeners to continue exploring the world of natural sounds and music through our online platforms, ensuring the journey into nature's symphony is just the beginning.www.thelisteningplanet.com

For three decades, peregrine falcons have repeatedly been breeding on the windowsill of a high-rise building in Melbourne. A camera films the birds, and the live stream is available on YouTube. After a failed season, a new pair is now at work and bird lovers are very enthusiastic. - Wanderfalken brüten seit drei Jahrzehnten immer wieder auf dem Fenstersims eines Hochhauses in Melbourne. Eine Kamera filmt die Vögel, der Livestream ist über YouTube abrufbar. Nach einer fehlgeschlagenen Saison ist nun ein neues Paar am Werk und die Begeisterung der Vogelliebhaber ist groß.

As an aspiring wildlife tracker I want to know about the signs that animals leave behind. Due to my annoyingly excitable curiosity this includes all animals, and all types of sign. This includes the regurgitated masses of undigested food that makes up a bird pellet. When it comes to pellets, I have found a couple before. Some full of hair, assorted skulls and other bones, feather parts and even a couple full of seed husks from plants. But when it comes to sorting out who left these pellets behind, there is an extraordinary lack of resources to help folks figure it out. I got excited to interview Ed Drewitt again. His new book Bird Pellets, out now on Pelagic Publishing, has tons of photos, lots of detailed info and some great hints on how to identify the makers of the pellets we find. While the book was written with a British and Irish context in mind, there are many overlaps with Turtle Island/North American species which I find quite helpful. As for Ed? He is a professional naturalist, wildlife detective, and broadcaster for the BBC. He has been studying urban Peregrines for over 15 years, and looking into the contents of bird pellets for even longer. He has been on the show before and has been a great help in answering some of my ornithological mysteries pertaining to Peregrine Falcons in the past. It was nice to reconnect over his great new book.

Eagle Cliff in New Hampshire's Franconia Notch State Park is an important nesting site for Peregrine Falcons. Each year, popular climbing routes in the area close temporarily to give nesting falcons their space. After peregrines disappeared from the northeast due to the pesticide DDT, Eagle Cliff was the first natural rock face to host a successful peregrine nest. Now, state agencies and New Hampshire Audubon work with rock climbing groups to decide when to close cliffs in the summer.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

This episode is another lengthy one, and it's packed full with a lot of good information and experiences! A lot of you, especially the falconry book collectors in the community, will probably recognize the name of our guest for this episode. Clayton White, who is the author of Peregrine Quest, and co-author of Peregrine Falcons of the World, gave me the better part of his afternoon a few months ago, so the jaunt was made down to Utah to discuss Clay's tenured history researching birds of prey.

Heath Garner (North American Falconers Association Vice President) joins me to tell us about trapping of passage peregrines in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (MAV) of Arkansas. He tells us about the MAV, and the challenges associated with trying to find and trap passage birds in the region. Heath briefly reminds us of the timeline from listing of the species to the events that led to re-instituting of a legal harvest, and describes the role that NAFA played in advocating for legal harvest. It took a few trapping seasons to build sufficient local knowledge that now makes Arkansas trappers regularly successful each trapping season; Heath leads us through that learning curve. He talks about the influence of weather on migration timing, and offers up what he has learned about trap sets and best locations.  Heath has trapped, trained, and flown his fair share of passage birds since 2009 (when they first became available to our generation of falconers), and he tells us about the birds that he has hunted with, and the ups and downs that he has been through.

A disillusioned adman and casual birder, a mysterious ransom plot, and a conservation program for restoring Peregrine Falcons all combine in Mike Lubow's irreverent new novel, The Idea People. Mike is a prolific writer and story-teller whose interests intersect with birding in his online journal Two-Fisted Bird Watcher. He joins us to talk about why birders make great detectives, even fictional ones.  Also, nature illiteracy strikes again in the form of a bonkers proposed law in Kentucky.  Subscribe to the podcast at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts and please leave a rating or a review if you are so inclined!

Lorna Siggins spent the morning with Irene O'Brien, district conservation officer for the National Parks and Wildlife Service. They visited Shane Loftus' farm on the upper Moy estuary to check on the progress of some nesting peregrine falcons.

The relationship between electric power plants and peregrine falcons is helping to preserve a bird that was nearly extinct less than 30 years ago, and still remains endangered in Wisconsin. Debra Fitzgerald talks with the man responsible for the successful peregrine falcon nesting seasons at WPS power plants in Wisconsin, Greg Septon, and WPS's Matt Cullen.

#265: Beckham, Gaffa Banana, Silent Walking It's been a full on week, and we're here to give you a little reprieve if you need it. Fat Bear Week is here to help us, we have a winner, she is amazing, and we celebrate Grazer. Meanwhile Bang Fam are rallying around the Peregrine Falcons after their fortunes took a turn. The conceptual art piece “Comedian” (a banana gaffa taped to a wall) is coming to Melbourne for the NGV's Triennial, so it's time for Myf's critical art eye. And for Zan to wonder who's hungry. 90's sitcoms are back, but why? Frasier is recreating the nostalgia to the letter, while Jerry Seinfeld has been hinting of some sort of return. We explain all. Looking back seems to be the way we're moving forward across culture in general, with none doing it better or bigger this week than the Beckham docu-series on Netflix. We dig into this epic story of Posh and Becks, football and fantasy, and a heavy dose of bad new millenium fashion. And a great read on how the internet isn't fun anymore has crystallized a lot, and made us wistful for the world wide web. Could switching it all off and going silent walking be the answer? Myf is banging on about the second series of Billie Piper's brilliant series I Hate Suzie, while Zan is reading Kazuo Ishiguro's classic The Remains of the Day. And did you know Bang On is now on YouTube? You can now SEE us be silly duffa's. Check it out via the link below.

An analysis of 75 years of Peregrine Falcon monitoring data shows that performance increased substantially following the reduction in the use of organochlorine pesticides. Gradual recovery of the population occurred over four decades. Our results suggest that the temporal pattern of organochlorine pesticide use strongly influenced Peregrine reproductive parameters but that the pattern of influence differed regionally.

Wow, what a week. We really do cover it all on Bang On and partake in a healthy amount of googling, too. Yep, Myf and Zan are back to make sense of the week that was; music, art, life, and birds. Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's rumoured dating has been publicly confirmed in the VIP tower at Beyonce's LA show. Smooching and smoking was just the pressie she wanted. Meanwhile down the road in Nevada people have been stranded at Burning Man after an unseasonable downpour. Are we allowed to enjoy it? The Yes campaign has been gifted its soundtrack courtesy of John Farnham, and a beautiful piece of writing from a prisoner about Taylor Swift, has floored us. And there's a lot of animal chat this week. A lot. Bird sniffers, allegedly thieving koalas, the peregrine falcons are back. We are giddy with excitement.

Isabella Tree is an award-winning author and travel writer who, together with her conservationist husband Charlie Burrell, has pioneered a rewilding project in West Sussex and turned an old family farm back into an environment from another era. Among the Longhorn Cattle, Exmoor Ponies and Tamworth Pigs that roam the landscape are Beavers, dozens of pairs of Nightingales, Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers, Peregrine Falcons, Turtle Doves and Storks. In fact, the first pair of Storks to nest in a British chimney since 1416 made their home in Isabella's house. In this podcast she explains what rewilding is, discusses its scalability and its role in the UK's future, engages with criticism, discusses how to eat meat sustainably and reveals plans for a cafe on site to nourish walkers, campers and glampers. Isabella's The Book Of Wilding is out now.

Quoting directly from the Environmental Protection Agency's website: the ESA is a federal law passed in 1973 that “provides a program for the conservation of threatened and endangered plants and animals and the habitats in which they are found.” The lead federal agencies for implementing the ESA are the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U. S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Service. “The law requires federal agencies, in consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or the NOAA Fisheries Service, to ensure that actions they authorize, fund, or carry out are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any listed species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of designated critical habitat of such species. The law also prohibits any action that causes a taking of any listed species of endangered fish or wildlife. Also import, export, interstate, and foreign commerce of listed species are all generally prohibited.” That's quite a mouthful! In layman's terms this act protects and recovers species at risk of extinction and promotes the conservation of the habitats they need to survive.   Kiersten: Next question is how does a plant or animal get listed as threatened or endangered so they can receive protection under the Endangered Species Act?             According to the NOAA Fisheries Service website it is a many stepped process that can take several years to accomplish. First, there are five factors that must be determined before a plant or animal can be listed as threatened or endangered. Is there present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of its habitat or range? Has there been overutilization of the species for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educational purposes? Is it being threatened by disease or predation? Is there an inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms? Are natural or manmade factors affecting its continued existence? If the answers to these five questions are all yes, which must be supported by current scientific evidence, then action must be taken to determine if the organism needs to be listed under the Endangered Species Act. To determine this NOAA and US Fish and Wildlife starts a listing process. This can begin in one of two ways: They receive a petition from a private organization or person requesting a species be listed as threatened or endangered. NOAA or US Fish and Wildlife chooses to examine the status of a species themselves. After receiving a petition, the next step is a 90-day period in which they decide to accept the petition or deny the petition. The decision must be publicly announced.  If it is denied, that's the end of the road for the time being. If it's a yes, then we move onto the next step that can take up to 12 months.             In this step scientific data is gathered from all sources private and public and this is peer-reviewed for accuracy. Once the evidence is read the petition is either classified as not warranted, which means these agencies publish a negative 12-month finding and that's all she wrote for this attempt. If it's deemed warranted, they publish this finding and request public comment on the proposal to list the species as threatened or endangered. The final ruling is generally determined and published within one year of the date of the proposed rule. That results in being listed as endangered or threatened in all or part of the species range.             Whoosh! That's quite a few steps.   Cheryl: What's the difference between threatened and endangered?             Endangered means an animal or plant is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Threatened means a species is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future.  State and Federal statuses can be different from each other. The federal status takes precedence but states can have their own classifications. For example, a species can be considered threatened federally but can be endangered in the state of Arizona. That species would receive protection under the Endangered Species Act as well as state protection laws.   Kiersten: Let's look at how the Endangered Species Act has helped some of our feathered friends throughout the years.             The most famous and well-known example is the Bald Eagle. In the mid-1900s the bald eagle was at risk for extinction. Habitat loss and degradation, illegal shooting, and poisoning from the pesticide DDT was at fault. All of these causes were man-made issues. The bald eagle was listed as endangered in 1978 throughout the lower 48 states with the exception of Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin where they were listed as threatened. The Bald Eagle was adopted as the national symbol in 1782 and it is estimated at that time there were approximately 100,000 nesting pairs. In the mid to late 1800s their numbers began to decline at the same time that overhunting was causing a decline in waterfowl numbers, which is a major prey items for these eagles.             Due to the incorrect belief that eagles killed chickens, lamb and other domesticated livestock, shootings took many of their lives, as well as the discovery of DDT as a great way to get rid of mosquitos. DDT coated everything and was ingested by wildlife which made its way into the food eagles ate killing them and weakening their egg shells causing incubating mothers to crush their own eggs. By 1963 there were only 417 nesting pairs of bald eagles known to exist in the US. Listing the Bald Eagle as endangered under the Endangered Species Act allowed federal agencies to band together to begin the conservation efforts that included establishing captive breeding programs, enforcing protections legally, protecting nest sites during breeding season, and reintroduction programs.             Because of these efforts, in 1995 Bald Eagles were reclassified as threatened. In 2007 they were removed from the Endangered Species Act all together because their population was now estimated at least 9,789 nesting pairs in the contiguous United States. In 2019 an estimated 316,700 individuals existed with 71,467 of those being breeding pairs. The Bald eagle is an ESA success story and without these protections they would most likely have gone extinct.    Cheryl: Our next example is one you may not have heard of, and that is the Kirtland's Warbler. This is a small yellow-breasted warbler that migrates between their breeding grounds in Northern Michigan and winter grounds in the Bahamas. They only nest in large areas of dense, young jack pines. These habitats are typically produced through natural wildfires. Years of preventing cyclical wildfires through human efforts led to a decline in their preferred habitat. And the invasion of the parasitic brown-headed cowbird, due to the change in habitat, greatly diminished their population. In 1973, the Kirtland's Warbler was one of the first species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Efforts to recover this bird had been going on since the 1950s but without success. The listing allowed several forces to ban together to create a program that would be more successful.  To address the issues of habitat loss, the USDA Forest Service and Michigan Department of Natural Resources developed a program to harvest old jack pine forests and then plant new jack pines to provide those young trees the warblers needed. In 1980, Nature also helped out with a natural wildfire that burned 10,000 acres of jack pine habitat making way for new growth. In 1981 there existed only 232 pairs of Kirtland's warblers, five years later the numbers had dropped to 170. By the 1990's with the increase in available habitat the numbers began to rise. In 2001, their breeding pairs exceeding 1,000. In 2019 they hit 2300 breeding pairs and were removed from the Endangered Species Act.  Another success story for the ESA that Phil Huber, a national forest biologist, contributes to the teamwork of biologists, foresters, researchers, and volunteers made possible by the listing under the Endangered Species Act.   Kiersten: Our third example is the fastest creature on Earth, the Peregrine Falcon.             Prior to 1940 it was estimated that there were 3,875 nesting pairs of Peregrine Falcons in North America. By the 1960s peregrines had disappeared from the eastern United States and by the 1970s their population in the western United States had declined by 90%. By 1975 only 324 pairs existed in the United States. Loss of habitat, shooting, and egg collection plagued these falcons for years, but the truly devastating blow was the use of the pesticide DDT. Use of this chemical had the same impact on the peregrine as it did on the Bald Eagle. Brooding mothers were crushing their eggs due to a lack of calcium in the shell. American peregrines were quickly on their way to extinction.             This bird was classified as endangered in 1970 under the Endangered Species Conservation Act of 1969 and this listing was rolled over to the Endangered Species Act in 1973. When DDT was banned by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1972, recovering the peregrine falcon population became a real possibility. In 1974, The Peregrine Fund, national and state agencies in the United States and Canada, and private volunteers banned together to embark on a reintroduction program. Researchers at Cornell University successfully devised a plan to breed adults in captivity and with the help of state and federal wildlife services reintroduced these birds into the wild.             Because of these efforts, more than 6000 American peregrine falcons have been released in North America. In 1999, their numbers were so well recovered they were removed from the Endangered Species Act. The American Peregrine Falcon is the most dramatic success story of the Endangered Species Act.   Cheryl: These are just three dramatic examples of the success stories of the Endangered Species Act. As of 2016, there were 120 bird species protected under this act. According to a review published by the Center for Biological Diversity, 85% of continental U.S. birds protected by the Endangered Species Act have increased or stabilized since being protected. The average increase was 624%. Current recovering species include California Condor in California and Arizona that are up 391% since 1968, whooping cranes in the central U.S. that are up 923% since 1967, wood storks in the Southeast that are up 61% since 1984, California least terns that are up 1,835% since 1970, and Puerto Rican parrots that are up 354% since 1967.             These are amazing results! Currently there are 1,300 species of plants and animals listed as endangered or threatened in the United States under the Endangered Species Act. If the last 50 years show us anything, these species have a good shot at beating extinction as long as we all continue to work together.             As a side note, the birds in the success stories we talk about that have been removed from the ESA are still protected by federal law under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. For more on this act, please check out or episode titled Bird Laws.   Kiersten: Closing - The Audubon Society calls the Endangered Species Act the strongest federal safeguard against the extinction of species in the United States. The examples we've just talked about prove how this legislation does work. Reluctantly, in recent years there have been grumblings in Congress about limiting the effectiveness of this act. To protect our feathered friends we must make our feelings known by supporting the continued use of the Endangered Species Act so we can have another 50 years of success stories.

Peregrine Falcons are the clear winner to the question what is the fastest animal on the planet. Their top speed is double that of the world's fastest land animal, the cheetah. Peregrine falcons, also called duck hawks, are one of the most common falcons and birds of prey on this planet. They can be found on almost every continent, and they'll happily live in a city or the countryside. You can thank them for helping keep the pigeon population in check in many cities. “Peregrine” means “Wanderer” in Latin and peregrine falcons have been used in falconry for thousands of years. Peregrine falcons have evolved to be speed machines. They have specialized eyes that provide them excellent vision that is 8x better than a human's vision. They also have specialized bones and muscles that allow them to fly faster than any other animal.They almost went extinct after WWII due to stupid humans, but removing certain pesticides and targeted breeding has allowed them to rebound and they're currently doing better than ever. Listen now to learn about how peregrine falcons showcase evolution at its finest.Follow us on Twitter @betterthanhuma1on Facebook @betterthanhumanpodcaston Instagram @betterthanhumanpodcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@betterthanhumanpodcastor Email us at betterthanhumanpodcast@gmail.comWe look forward to hearing from you, and we look forward to you joining our cult of weirdness!

For more than 25 years, peregrine falcons have nested on a downtown Hamilton hotel roof. The Hamilton Community Peregrine Project - a mostly volunteer group - helps band the birds for identification, tracks their movements in and out of the city, and aids falcons in distress, particularly when they're learning to fly. Hamilton-Niagara Ontario Hub journalist Justin Chandler got a bird's eye view of the operation in progress. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eagle Cliff in New Hampshire's Franconia Notch State Park is an important nesting site for Peregrine Falcons. Each year, popular climbing routes in the area close temporarily to give nesting falcons their space. After peregrines disappeared from the northeast due to the pesticide DDT, Eagle Cliff was the first natural rock face to host a successful peregrine nest. Now, state agencies and New Hampshire Audubon work with rock climbing groups to decide when to close cliffs in the summer.  Learn more at BirdNote.org.

By 1964, there were no successfully nesting peregrine falcons in North America east of the Rockies and south of the Arctic. They were functionally extinct. So, why do we have them now? How did they come back? And why are they loving cities? One of the heroes of their story is Art McMorris. He was the Peregrine Falcon Coordinator with the Pennsylvania Game Commission from 2004 to 2021. Under his leadership, the Peregrine came to be removed from the endangered species list. This is a story not only for anyone interested in bringing a species back from the brink of extinction but also for those determined to reach their goals while having fun- a requirement for Art.HighlightsWhat makes the Peregrine super unique in the animal kingdom?How does a species go from functionally extinct to off the endangered species list?Once a neuroscientist, what skills did Art transfer to help the Peregrine?What lessons did he learn from doing this?What Can YOU DoEngage with the natural world.
