Podcasts about seabirds

In shallow waters off the coast of Massachusetts, ocean predators come from far and wide to hunt. Humpback whales join Great Shearwaters and many other seabirds in pursuing sand lance, a tiny fish that these top predators rely on for sustenance. But sand lance are vulnerable to climate change — putting the rest of the ecosystem, including seabirds, at risk. This episode is dedicated to Bob Goodale, whose lifelong love for birds and nature continues to inspire. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

We just pulled off a travel move that still makes us laugh: a luxury stay at Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach that was booked on Hilton points, covered by stacked Hilton resort credits, and somehow ended with us up $38 thanks to a perfectly timed Amex offer. If you've ever wondered whether points and miles are actually worth the effort, we walk through the real math, the real cards, and the real checkout moment where Raya hands over a stack of credit cards and asks the front desk to split the bill across all of them. Along the way, we rewind to our annual Oceanside getaway, the trip we protect on our calendar because it has almost no itinerary. Beach, pool, good food, and a reset. This year includes a surprise birthday dinner for Dwayne with friends he hasn't seen in more than 20 years, plus little details that made it feel special, like a custom menu and a table that just kept growing as more people arrived. We also get practical about family travel logistics: when a “standard room” starts feeling too small for five people, how we think about suites, and why an ocean view matters when one of us is working during the trip. We share our experience at The Seabird, how we handled a disappointing initial room assignment, and the polite ask that got us into a true oceanfront suite. Expect plenty of California details too, from the Monarch Beach club shuttle to June gloom weather timing, plus our favorite eats and one meal that went off the rails. If you want more strategies like this for affordable luxury travel, subscribe, share this with a points-obsessed friend, and leave us a quick review so more families can find the show. What's the next hotel you'd love to book entirely on points?

The routes taken by migratory birds, known as flyways, often cross vast expanses of ocean. Six of these marine flyways have now been formally recognized by the U.N.'s Convention on Migratory Species, at the suggestion of scientists who published their findings on these flyways in the British Ecological Society's Journal of Applied Ecology. Tammy Davies, a co-author of the paper and marine science coordinator at BirdLife International, joins the Mongabay Newscast this week to discuss the conservation potential of the six flyways, and what the formal recognition by CMS does and doesn't do. "It's a fantastic communication tool for highlighting these amazing journeys that the seabirds undertake and the fact that multiple people, stakeholders, and countries need to come together and everyone can do their bit," Davies says. She notes that 151 bird species rely on these migratory routes, which connect 1,300 key biodiversity areas that the birds regularly use. Having nations focus on protecting these areas, and reducing bycatch from fishing, are just some of the ways countries can coordinate conservation efforts along these routes. But this effort requires shared responsibility across the 54 nations that these flyways bisect. The flyways provide a formal mechanism for nations to do this, Davies says.

A lack of food, due to the impacts of climate change, has meant higher death rates for seabird chicks this year.

On the coast, the cries of seabirds ride the wind. But sometimes those wings need help. In this episode of Calling All Creatures, we explore the inspiring world of wildlife rescue with the dedicated team at Pelican Harbor Seabird Station. I'll be joined by Yaritza Acosta, Rehabilitation Manager, who shares what it takes to rescue, treat, and release injured seabirds and other native wildlife. From dramatic rescues to the careful rehabilitation process that prepares animals to return to the wild, you'll hear powerful stories from the front lines of a wildlife hospital where compassion and science work wing-to-wing. We'll also explore the hidden dangers seabirds face every day, the challenges wildlife rehabilitators encounter, and how everyday people can help protect wildlife in their own communities. If you've ever wondered what happens after someone finds an injured bird on the beach, or how conservationists help wildlife return to the wild where they belong, this episode will open your eyes and tug at your heart. Join us for an uplifting conversation about compassion, conservation, and the incredible journey from rescue… to flight again.

Send a textWhy do birds have the names they do?In this episode of Wildly Curious, Katy Reiss kicks off a new mini-series called “Bird Name Game”, exploring the fascinating origins behind bird names. Each episode looks at two birds, their natural history, and the surprising linguistic stories behind what we call them.This episode dives into two iconic seabirds: the albatross and the gull.The albatross, one of the largest flying birds on Earth, can glide across the ocean for thousands of miles with barely a wingbeat. But its name didn't start in English. It traveled through Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, and Latin, changing spelling and even switching which bird it referred to before becoming the name we know today.Gulls, on the other hand, have a much simpler origin. Their name likely comes from ancient Celtic and Norse roots that imitate the bird's loud, wailing call—the same cry that echoes across beaches, harbors, and parking lots everywhere.Along the way, we explore:How albatrosses travel thousands of miles using ocean windsWhy many albatross species form lifelong partnershipsThe surprising linguistic journey from “alcatraz” to “albatross”Why gulls were named after the sound they makeHow bird names reflect human language, culture, and first impressionsIf you love birding, natural history, ornithology, or wildlife science, this mini-series reveals how the names of birds tell stories about exploration, language, and the people who first encountered them.Subscribe for more episodes of Wildly Curious, where science, nature, and curiosity collide.

In this wide-ranging episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, host Anish Banerjee is joined by David Will from Island Conservation to explore why islands sit at the heart of the global biodiversity crisis—and why they also represent one of conservation's greatest sources of hope.Islands occupy a unique place in Earth's ecological history. Despite covering a tiny fraction of the planet's land area, they support a disproportionate share of global biodiversity, harbouring countless endemic species found nowhere else. David explains why island biodiversity hotspots are so extraordinary, but also why island wildlife is exceptionally vulnerable. Small land area, isolation, and simplified food webs mean that disturbances—especially invasive species and climate change—can trigger rapid ecological collapse. As a result, islands have experienced some of the highest extinction rates on Earth, making island biodiversity conservation one of the most urgent challenges in modern conservation.The conversation delves into the science and practice of island conservation, with a focus on restoring vulnerable ecosystems by removing invasive species such as rats, cats, and pigs. These introduced animals have driven widespread extinctions of seabirds, reptiles, and plants, fundamentally altering island ecology. David describes how removing invasive species can unlock extraordinary recovery, allowing native species to rebound within years and restoring ecological processes that had been suppressed for centuries.A central theme of the episode is the powerful connection between land and sea. David explains how island ecology cannot be understood in isolation from surrounding marine systems. Seabirds, once restored, transport nutrients from ocean to land, enriching forests and coastal soils, while also boosting coral reef health and fish biomass offshore. These cascading benefits highlight how island biodiversity conservation supports both terrestrial and marine ecosystems, strengthening climate resilience and food security for island communities.Climate change looms large throughout the discussion. Rising sea levels, marine heatwaves, stronger storms, and shifting temperature regimes disproportionately affect islands, making them frontline indicators of global environmental change. David reflects on why climate change amplifies existing threats, and how biodiversity management on islands must integrate adaptation, biosecurity, and long-term monitoring to remain effective in an uncertain future.The episode also explores innovation in conservation, from drones and environmental DNA to cutting-edge genetic tools aimed at controlling invasive species more humanely and safely. These technologies are expanding what is possible for island conservation at scale, offering new pathways to protect some of the world's most fragile biodiversity hotspots.This conversation offers a compelling vision for the future of island conservation—one grounded in science, community leadership, and optimism. It is essential listening for anyone interested in island biodiversity, island wildlife, vulnerable ecosystems, climate change, and the role islands play in the global biodiversity conservation agenda.#Islandbiodiversity #islandconservation #islandbiodiversityconservation #islandwildlife #islandecology #biodiversity #biodiversityconservation #biodiversityhotspot #biodiversitymanagement #islandbiodiversityhotspot #vulnerableecosystems #climatechange Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

Host/Producer: Glen Mittelhauser This episode features a discussion with Coco and Tracey Faber, Alison Ballard, and Peyton Caylor, seabird researchers who worked on Maine's offshore colonies this summer. Together they reflect on the role of these islands beyond nesting seabirds, describing their importance as stopovers for migrating shorebirds and staging areas for gulls. They share observations of sandpipers, plovers, Ruddy Turnstones, and other migrants, and note how islands like Eastern Egg Rock can host large flocks during peak migration. More information about Maine Natural History can be found at mainenaturalhistory.org. About the hosts: Glen Mittelhauser founded Maine Natural History Observatory (MNHO) in 2003 to fill the need for an organization that specializes in collecting, interpreting, and maintaining datasets for understanding changes in Maine's plant and wildlife populations.  Glen received his Bachelor's in Human Ecology from College of the Atlantic in 1989 with a focus in the biological sciences and received his Master of Science degree in Zoology (with a focus on ornithology and statistics) from the University of Maine in 2000. Glen was the Managing Editor for Northeastern Naturalist and Southeastern Naturalist for 18 years and has served as external graduate faculty for 3 graduate student committees at the University of Maine.  Glen currently serves on the Baxter State Park Research Committee.

Palmyra Atoll is a ring-shaped island encircling a lagoon in the South Pacific. The atoll lost many native trees due to U.S. military activity during World War II. Conservationists have worked to restore the ecosystem. Seabirds such as Black Noddies and Red-footed Boobies nest in the island's rainforest. Their guano enriches the soil, and the soil's nutrients help support the coral ecosystem that provides fish for the birds.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

AP correspondent Ben Thomas reports there's a feeding frenzy being reported along the California coast.

5/8. Guano, Tragedy, and the Rise of Intensive Farming — Steven Moss — Moss discusses seabird guano (nutrient-rich droppings), first recognized as a valuable resource by the Incas and subsequently monetized by William Gibbs, who accumulated immense wealth trading guano from arid Peruvian islands. Moss emphasizes that guano harvesting occurred under tragic human conditions, with Chinese indentured laborers frequently dying during extraction operations. Mossnotes that declining guano availability stimulated the invention of synthetic fertilizers by Haber and Bosch, catalyzing the emergence of intensive chemical agriculture. Moss documents that high-intensity chemical farming, despite enabling global food production, precipitated catastrophic declines in bird and insect populations, a phenomenon extensively documented in Rachel Carson's seminal work Silent Spring. 1880

Animals affected by climate change are showing us how fragile our ecosystems have become. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, host Andrew Lewin speaks with Dr. Helen Killeen, a marine ecologist whose research connects seabird reproduction to shifting ocean temperatures, prey diversity, and climate pressures across the northern hemisphere. Animals affected by climate change, from seabirds in the Arctic to those in the Pacific, serve as living indicators of ocean health. Helen explains how changes in prey diversity and warming oceans disrupt seabird breeding success, what this means for food webs, and why protecting biodiversity can help stabilize marine ecosystems. She also shares her journey from high-school science teacher to marine researcher, revealing how curiosity and adaptability are essential traits for anyone working to protect our planet.

The British Isles are remarkable for their extraordinary seabird life: spectacular gatherings of charismatic Arctic terns, elegant fulmars and stoic eiders, to name just a few. Often found in the most remote and dramatic reaches of our shores, these colonies are landscapes shaped not by us but by the birds.In 2015, Stephen Rutt escaped his hectic, anxiety-inducing life in London for the bird observatory on North Ronaldsay, the most northerly of the Orkney Islands. In thrall to these windswept havens and the people and birds that inhabit them, he began a journey to the edges of Britain. From Shetland, to the Farnes of Northumberland, down to the Welsh islands off the Pembrokeshire coast, he explores the part seabirds have played in our history and what they continue to mean to Britain today.The Seafarers is the story of those travels: a love letter, written from the rocks and the edges, for the salt-stained, isolated and ever-changing lives of seabirds. This beguiling book reveals what it feels like to be immersed in a completely wild landscape, examining the allure of the remote in an over-crowded world.Support the showConnect with me at...

With the tourist hordes come the birds of summer, and they are worth leaving your home for, and maybe even crossing a town line or two.

In this podcast I want to share an article that I truly consider one of the best I've ever read, for so many reasons. It's a classic from the legendary Captain Peter B. Wright, titled "Things You Need to Know About Seabirds." I find myself re-reading it year after year. Peter, who we lost in 2023, was a titan in the fishing world. His articles were always simple, no fluff, straight to the point. He had opinions, yes, but never in an overbearing way that shamed anyone. Why do I keep coming back to Peter's work? Sadly, guys like him really don't exist anymore, or they've stopped sharing their insights because of the drastic shift in today's fishing culture.  And honestly, in today's fishing world, it feels like everyone has a shaming opinion or wants to tell you you're doing it wrong. I'll admit, I've been guilty of that myself in the past. But every single day, I work on not doing that anymore.  Peter was the exact opposite. He didn't preach; he taught. He didn't shame; he shared. His approach was always about real-world experience, backed by a scientific mind, focused purely on helping you become a better, more responsible angler. That's why I connect so much with his writing: stop shaming people, educate them, and then let them make their own decisions. There's something profound about reconnecting with the past through these articles. It's like you can now hear them speak to you.  When you're truly searching to get better in life, in fishing, or in anything, those voices will connect with you. In this incredible article, Peter, with his signature blend of scientific insight and practical wisdom, dives deep into how seabirds are your ultimate fishing guides. He quotes Captain John Bayliss, one of the best in the business.  This episode is packed with invaluable knowledge that will change how you look for fish offshore, all through the lens of one of fishing's true gentlemen.  Interested in booking a fishing charter in The Florida Keys?

The family of seabirds called alcids is an eclectic bunch that includes puffins and murres. The largest alcids are about the size of a duck, but the smallest — called the Least Auklet — could fit in the palm of your hand. With their short wings whirring, these miniature seabirds look like swarms of feathered bumblebees as they forage for tiny crustaceans on the ocean's surface. Least Auklets form massive breeding colonies on rocky islands of the north Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. In August, when the young birds are ready to take their first flight, millions of auklets scatter to the winds across the northern seas.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

What do eiders eat, how do they feed, why is their poop so stinky, how do they taste, how many are there, and what are the most pressing conservation concerns affecting them? These and other questions are explored as Kate Martin and Dr. Sarah Gutowsky rejoin Dr. Mike Brasher to wrap up our common eider species profile. Also discussed is new research that is improving our knowledge of eider population trends and identifying important breeding and winter sites. New telemetry results are revealing fascinating insights about eider migration, and we learn of the important cultural and economic tie between common eiders and local communities, including why an eider down duvet could set you back $10,000!Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.org
