Franz Lidz returns to the podcast to talk about his recent bylines in the New York Times, where he covers the science and archaeology beat. He takes complex topics and distills them down to highly informative, entertaining and useful narratives. The NYT published his story, headlined "They Shoot Owls in California" about the invasive Barred Owls, which are displacing the endangered Spotted Owl throughout much of its range. A new Fish & Wildlife initiative will pay hunters to shoot these aggressive raptors, and it is pitting scientists against animal lovers. He also recently wrote a story about daily life in Britain 3,000 years ago, thanks to a recent excavation in which a well-preserved village has been exhumed, as well as how the Stone Age was actually the Wood Age. We also talked about his "beat" of covering stories that pique his interest, of Ojai life and politics, food culture and much more. We did not talk about graphic design, wool-carding technology of the Middle Ages or Ainu culture. You can read more about Franz and his brilliant career through your New York Times subscription.

We talk with our friend and Wisconsin birder Eric Konkol about the First of the Year Birding Challenge, his work doing Marbled Murrelet and Spotted Owl surveys in the Pacific Northwest, as well as some of his recent trips, including what it's like to bird in South Texas.

National Forests are locations where we can listen to a concert of wildlife sounds. The caws, croaks, howls, growls and squeaks we might hear are gems of information about wildlife and their habitat. The USDA Forest Service and partners work together to conserve and restore land that wildlife species need to survive but to avoid unintended negative impacts of wildlife, it is essential to know what species are in a forest and where they are located.

The barred owl, not native to California, is quickly becoming established in the state, having flown down the West Coast. The barred owl's presence is bad news for its cousin, the northern spotted owl, the iconic species of the Timber Wars. The barred owl outcompetes the northern spotted owl and quickly takes over its territory. With the northern spotted owl on the road to extinction, now is the time for desperate measures. To save the northern spotted owl, researchers have tested whether killing barred owls makes a difference. The grim but good news: when barred owls are removed, population declines of the northern spotted owl stabilize. Owl researcher Dave Wiens joins Gang Green to discuss the results of his recent research.REQUIRED READING:”Invader removal triggers competitive release in a threatened avian predator,” David Wiens et al., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Joe DeMare talks about visiting Weelau, the forest that the City of Atlanta wants to destroy in order to build "Cop City." Next, he interviews architect Gerard Nadeau about Green building practices and how architects are trying to build a net zero world. Rebecca Wood talks about the tiny and terrible fire ant. Ecological News includes Japan's latest example of choosing nukes over reality and the fate of the Spotted Owl (singular) in Canada

The federal government is proposing an emergency order to protect the only three northern spotted owls known to be living wild in B.C.'s old-growth forests. We discuss what that means for the owls and local logging industry with Joe Foy, protected areas campaigner for the Wilderness Committee; and Nathan Cullen, B.C.'s minister of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship.

As Evangelical children in the 80's and 90's, we had plenty of Big Terrible Things to fear. Satanic Panic was in full swing, stranger danger lurked in every darkened doorway, and America's Most Wanted sailed into our living rooms on the reg. One of the most fearful things, of course, was the rise of Environmentalism. (BUT WHY?!)Seriously, though, does anybody know why Evangelicals - people who believe God literally created the world and everything it and who believe the earth is a gift from God above - also hate environmentalism? Deny climate change? Fight for industry over the health of the earth? (All God's creatures great and small, unless you're the Spotted Owl, then fuck you!) The cognitive dissonance is astounding.So, if you, like this unanimous trio of co-hosts, were not allowed to watch Fern Gully, lest your fertile young mind absorb the poison of the message to protect the earth, listen in as we get into the nitty gritty of Christians and the Environmental Agenda.If, on the other hand, you're reading this description and thinking it makes literally no sense - you're not wrong. Join the club and still listen, because if nothing else, this will entertain you for a little while. This season, Holy Ghosting is focusing on the philosophies, activities, existences, and concepts that were taboo in our Evangelical experience. Anything and everything from fat bodies, naked bodies, LGBTQIA+ bodies and humans…we're gonna opine and weep and laugh our way through it all. If you're into that sort of thing, you might want to become one of our besties and become a Holy Ghostie at Patreon.com/holyghostingDon't forget to subscribe so you don't miss a single episode this season! What's more fun than Taboo? Guesstures? NO. Taboo is the best group game, end of discussion.

When the Executive Vice President of the firm asks you specifically to deal with a problem, of course you jump at the chance to prove yourself to the partners. So, if that means you have to grab your work-BFF, drive four-and-a-half hours north of Sacramento into the rural backwoods of California, and try to convince some old lady to let a conservationist team investigate a threatened species that lives on her property, you hop in the Prius and go. Sure, the cell service might suck, but a little trek into nature can't be that bad a way to spend the day, right?

Summary: Join Cheryl and Kiersten as they continue their discussion of the owls found in Arizona.   For our hearing impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.   Show Notes: www.avibirds.com/owls-of-arizona/   www.a-z-animals.com/blog/true-owls-vs-barn-owls-what-are-the-diffrences/   Owling: Enter the World of the Mysterious Birds of the Night, by Mark Wilson   Liberty Wildlife: (480)998-5550 2600 E Elmwood St. Phoenix, AZ 85040 https://Libertywildlife.org Background bird song:  Naturescapes Backyard Birds www.naturescapes.com Our email address, please reach out with comments, questions, or suggestions: thefeathereddesert@gmail.com   Transcript   Host Voice: Welcome to The Feathered Desert a podcast all about desert bird feeding in the Southwest region of the United States. (Various bird calls play)   Cheryl: Intro-Welcome to Owls of Arizona part two.  So, it does bears repeating that Arizona with it diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife is home to 13 different species of owl.  In part one we covered only four owls, and we are going to cover the other nine in this podcast, and Kiersten has our first one.   Kiersten: Western Screech Owl A well camouflaged owl with large ear tufts and streaked plumage in a variety of brown or gray.  They are about 7-10 inches in height.  These owls weigh about 3.5-10.8 ounces and have a wingspan 21-25 inches across.  Western Screech Owls occur all across the western states in U.S., and their range extends down into Central America.  They live in forests, open woodlands, deserts, shrublands, and open fields in the countryside.  You may find them in your local park.  They nest in tree holes and in cacti in desert regions.  These non-migratory owls will often reuse nest sites for years.  Western Screech Owls are active from dusk, through the night, into the dawn.  They are opportunistic predators; if they can catch it- they will eat it, but their prey is mainly rodents, birds, and insects.  Deforestation and development are threatening the habitats for these owls.  These owls have a whistling call and a high-pitched screech.  The song of the Western Screech Owl is a series of descending hoots.   Cheryl: Northern Saw-Whet Owl The Northern Saw-Whet owl is one of the smallest and most adorable owls on the continent.  It has a large round head and a compact body.  Its plumage is a rich brown with small white spots on the upper parts and blotchy white streaks below.  The facial disc is paler brown, and it has a white Y-shape from the brows to the bill, between its huge yellow eyes.  This owl is 7-9 inches in height.  It weighs 2.2-5.4 ounces and the wingspan is 17-22 inches across. They inhabit coniferous forests.  During the winter, they also take to deciduous or mixed woodlands.  They nest in tree holes excavated by woodpeckers or in the old nests of other birds.  They are nocturnal owls with exceptional hearing, and can detect prey purely by sound.  Their diet consists mainly of rodents, but will prey on small birds, bats, amphibians, and insects.  May cache mice for the winter. Although, fairly common these owls are hard to spot.  In Arizona, they are more numerous in the winter months as northern populations migrate south.  Listen for their call it is a whistly repetitive toots.   Kiersten: Long -Eared owl The Long-eared owl is named for its prominent ear tufts.  It has a dark, patterned plumage which is a mix of brown, gray and buff.  The underparts are buff with dark brown streaks.  Its facial disc is buff with white in the middle.  It has orange-yellow eyes and a grayish-black bill.  Long-eared owls have a wide distribution across the continent.  Arizona lies within their breeding range.  These owls inhabit forests and woodlands near densely vegetated open areas such as grasslands and shrublands.  They have adapted to semi desert environments where they hunt across dry, open landscapes.   Prey animals for these owls includes cottontail rabbits, red squirrels, bats, small birds, and snakes. In Arizona, you may see these owls nesting in forks or cavities of Saguaro cacti.  This is a shy elusive owl and is not easy to spot.  It is often misidentified as a Great Horned Owl due to the ear tufts.  The National Audubon Society believes this owl is undercounted in its national Christmas bird counts.  Populations of this species of owl are in decline due to habitat loss. Long-eared owls have a wide range of vocalizations that vary by region.  The long-eared owl is silent during the winter but often roost communally, making them easier to spot despite their excellent camouflage.  These owls will also roost on the ground. In Arizona, Long-eared owls may show-up in mass when there are irruptions of mice.   Cheryl: Short-eared Owl Now I put this owl back-to-back with the Long-eared owl because they are often misidentified as each other.  So, the short-eared owl is a medium-size owl about 15-17 inches in height.  It weighs approx. a 1.5 lb. and the wingspan is 38-44 inches across.  It has a rounded head with small ear tufts, hence the name.  Its feathers are mottled brown, buff, and white above and buff below with dark streaks on the breast.  The face is white in the center, with a brown facial disc edged with a pale rim. It's piercing yellow eyes are encircled by dark eye patches.  (Long-eared owls have rusty-orange feathering round the eyes.) These owls occur all across North America, with the majority of the population breeding in the north and migrating south for the winter.  So, in Arizona it would be the winter months that we would have an opportunity to see them. Short-eared owls inhabit large, sparsely vegetated open areas.  They nest on the ground, partially concealed amidst low vegetation.  Unlike other owls, short-eared owls build their own nests.  The female constructs a bowl-shaped nest using grasses, weeds and feathers.  These owls sometimes roost in groups, and on occasion will roost in trees with Long-eared owls. Short-eared owls eat mostly rodents, especially voles, rats and mice.  They also take birds and nestlings.  These owls breed up in the arctic so the birds they prey on are shorebirds and gulls with the occasional crow thrown in. These owls are on the decline mainly due to habitat loss.  Look for them in open fields and grasslands around dawn and dusk in the winter.  Unlike the Long-eared owl, the short-eared owl hunts during the day on the ground or flying low to the ground.  They have a floppy bat-like flight.  The short-eared owl is mostly silent in the winter.  Their common call is a raspy bark.   Kiersten:  Northern Pygmy owl The Northern pygmy owl Is a small, plump owl with a large, round head and a fairly long tail.  It is brown above with white spots and white below with dark brown streaks. As with other pygmy owls, it has eye-spots on the back of the neck which may function to deter predators attacking from behind.  This owl has feathered legs down to the toes.  It is 6-7 inches in height.  It weighs 2.1-2.5 ounces and has a wingspan of 12-15 inches across.  This owl has one of the shortest life spans of just 3 years whether in captivity or not. They are found all across north America and inhabit forest and woodlands.  They nest in tree holes, often excavated by woodpeckers.  Pygmy owls are diurnal, but also hunt at dawn and dusk.  They eat small birds, mammals and insects.  Northern Pygmy Owl is a fierce hunter known to often kill birds and rodents larger than themselves. These owls are prevalent in the eastern part of Arizona, and since they are active during the day that makes them easier to spot then most owls.  Still these owls largely go unnoticed.  Northern Pygmy Owl migrates in some regions from the higher to the lower elevations in the winter. The call of the Northern Pygmy Owl is a high-pitched trill or a one note toot.   Cheryl: Elf Owl This tiny raptor is the smallest member of its family in the world.  It is a small sparrow-sized owl.  The plumage of the elf owl is patterned gray-brown and white.  It has a buff-colored face and large, yellow eyes.  Females are more rusty-red in color, and the males are grayer. Elf Owls are nocturnal and mainly insectivorous, feeding on insects and other invertebrates.  Their prey includes moths, beetles, crickets, and arachnids like scorpions.  They may occasionally take a lizard or a small vertebrate animal.  Many Elf Owls breed in the southwestern U.S. then migrate south to Mexico for the winter where sedentary populations reside.  Elf owls is comfortable in diverse habitats, including mesquite and paloverde trees along desert washes, mountain pine-oak forests, oak forests, and forests along river and canyon bottoms.  They nest in tree holes of hardwoods and often in the Saguaro cacti.  Look for them in our desert around dusk.  Their voice is loud, and their call a high-pitched whiny or throaty chuckle, or a variety of barks, squeaks and whistles.   Kiersten: Burrowing Owl The Burrowing Owl is an owl we have talked about before in an earlier podcast titled” Burrowing Owls”.  The Burrowing Owl is a small, spotted owl with long gray legs.  Its feathers are brown above and pale below with brown streaks.  It has large yellow eyes, hooded by thick, pale brows. The height of this owl is 7-11 inches, its weight is 4.8-8.5 ounces.  It has a wingspan of 20-24 inches across.  Burrowing Owls are different from other raptors because males and females are the same size. Although, they have a wide, variable diet, they mainly prey on insects and rodents. These owls hunt at night and during the day.  Females mostly hunt insects during the day whereas males hunt more at night and catch small animals.  Most Burrowing Owls are sedentary, in their range but those owls that breed in the northern parts of their regions will migrate south during the winter.  They inhabit open grasslands, prairie, and other open areas of golf courses, farm fields, airports, and housing developments.  These owls' nest and roost in burrows usually made by prairie dogs or ground squirrels, or other burrowing mammals. This owl has a defensive strategy to mimic the behavior of rattlesnake's rattling tail.  Burrowing Owls make a rattling or hissing noise to ward off potential threats.  These owls are endangered due to habitat loss and decline of burrowing mammals.  They are often killed by cars and people's pet-cats and dogs.  Burrowing Owls are often active during the day and are fairly tolerant of human presence.  This owl has a large range of smooth-sounding musical notes.   Cheryl: Spotted owl The Mexican spotted Owl is medium-size forest owl.  Its height is 18-19 inches and its weight is 1.1-1.7 lbs.  Its wingspan is 42-45inches across.  This medium-size owl has dark eyes set in a large rounded head with no ear tufts.  It has dark brown feathers with white spots.  The spots on the underparts are oblong, giving it a Barred owl appearance. It has a prominent white x-shape on the face against the brown facial disc.  That being stated there are three subspecies of the Spotted owl: the Northwest Spotted Owl, the California Spotted Owl, and the Mexican Spotted Owl.  The Mexican Spotted Owl is the palest of the three in color.  It is also the one only that calls Arizona home. It must be noted that although the Mexican Spotted owls looks like the Barred owl in appearance the Spotted owl will not be found in any area near barred owls.  Barred owls are highly competitive with Spotted owls.  Barred owls will hunt the Spotted Owl. In Arizona, the Mexican Spotted Owl may be found in Pinyon Pine woodlands and canyons.  They nest in tree holes, abandoned nests of other birds, cliffs and ledges.  These owls hunt mostly at night and occasionally during the day.  They are essentially ambush predators, and typically hunt from a perch, where they wait for prey to draw close enough to launch a surprise attack.  Their prey is mainly woodrats, squirrels, bats, birds, reptiles, insects and amphibians.  Populations of Mexican spotted Owls are in decline due to destruction of habitat due to drought, development and wildfires.  These owls don't dissipate body heat very well so they prefer the cooler temps of southeastern mountain ranges in Arizona.  These owls are classified as threatened.  The Mexican Spotted owl may be tricky to find visually.  Listen for its three-part hoot.   Kiersten: Ferruginous Pygmy Owl The Ferruginous Pygmy owl is critically endangered in the United States and is protected under the Endangered Species Act.  This owl is threatened by habitat loss of Saguaro Cacti.  The eradication of Arizona's cottonwood groves and contiguous Saguaro stands, plus wildfires, drought, and the wall at the state border with Mexico. A small, round-headed owl with a streaked crown.  It has the false eye spots that all pygmy owls display.  The owl has yellow eyes with black pupils.  The tail is banded with rusty-red bars.  It stands about 6-7 inches in height and weighs 1.6-5.6 ounces.  It has a wingspan of 12 inches across. These little owls nest almost exclusively in Saguaro cacti cavities.  They can be found in the Sonoran Desert region among their favorite cacti.  They have a woodpecker -like undulating flight pattern and can be spotted during the day as well as at dawn and dusk. Their prey consists of mice, small birds, scorpions, moths, crickets and grasshoppers. In 2006 researchers documented only 26 individual owls in the wild in the state of Arizona.  Wild at Heart a non-profit group, began a reintroduction program in 2016. Their vocalizing is kept to a minimum to not draw attention to their location. So, others small birds won't mob them and drive them away.  Their call is a quick series of whistled toots. Cheryl: Spotting Owls Spotting owls can be tricky since most species are not active during the day.  Owls by nature are shy and elusive creatures.  Here ae some tips: The best time to see an owl is during the day.  The best time to hear an owl is at night. Learn about the species of owls in the area you are looking. Listen -familiarize yourself with the vocalizations of the different owls in your area.  Actively listen when you are out at night.  You will most likely hear an owl before you see it. Look for signs of owls like their pellets or white washing on trees. Be respectful- Be still and silent and refrain from using bright lights, so as not to disturb or frighten them away. Who knew Owls were so Cool?  Who, who the owls knew.  

Over recent years the spotted owl in North America has been making some major headlines; The Owls Are Disappearing, Forest Fires Reek Havoc On Owls, Is Logging Destroying Owl Habitat. But much like most headlines and news articles, they are only telling the half truth or are opinionated. So what is truly happening to the spotted owl? Well, join Nick and Mike as they talk through and explain what is happening to this species.

Connor Wood from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology talks about how he uses sounds in animal conservation despite being tone deaf. Using passive acoustic surveys he has studied Spotted Owl populations, surveyed the entire Sierra Nevada mountains with a team of only 15, and even studied endangered toads. What is a passive acoustic survey? Will this technology make Angela obsolete? Listen and find out.

Apr. 25, 2021 This week we sit down with T Bush owner of Chrisandglori_cocktails (instagram). We talk about everything from growing up in Detroit to becoming a bartender at the Spotted Owl. Just another quality conversation with a friend of the show.

Ryan Wickiser is a field biologist who has studied California spotted owls in Eldorado National Forest. This work enabled him to become intimately acquainted with this rarely seen species. He gets to know them so well, in fact, that he’s able to identify them by their unique hoot patterns! Host Kelly Ball asks him how forestry and conservation practices have evolved over time; why barred owls are considered an invasive species in the Pacific Northwest; and about the other species, such as northern goshawks and great gray owls, that he surveys as part of his work as a wildlife technician.

Today we release the 2nd half of our interview with Will from The Spotted Owl. Be sure to check out the 1st half from last week!

One of America's most open-minded bars, The Spotted Owl is a bar to add to the bucket list. Today we talk to Will from The Spotted Owl to learn more about his establishment.

On this episode of The Ecology Hour, longtime local activist Chris Skyhawk returns to KZYX as a regular host of the Ecology Hour. After many years away, Chris brings his unique insights on the state of the natural world and our relationship with it. His guest is Chris Simmons of the Environmental Protection Information Center, EPIC, on the fate of the Northern Spotted Owl. Aired live Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 7pm on KZYX.

On this Episode, Monica Bond (wildlife biologist and biodiversity activist) joined me to talk about Spotted Owl conservation, logging, fire ecology, woodpeckers and why Smokey the Bear is lying bastard.

1/22/21 -- In the final days of a presidency with a propensity for environmental deregulation, the Trump administration tucked some final rollbacks under its belt. The administration opened conservation lands in California and Utah to development, loosened standards on home heating equipment and, most notably to the North Coast, reduced protected habitat for the infamous northern spotted owl by one-third. The owl, which is threatened under the state and federal endangered species acts, is native to northern California, Washington, and Oregon. The species has been the subject of heated debate for years, as it’s protection resulted in millions of acres of forests being closed to timber harvesting

Just days before a new administration takes over, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced it would remove protections for 3.4 million acres of forest land currently considered critical habitat for the northern spotted owl. The owl is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, and inspired bitter fights between the logging industry and environmentalists in the 1990s. Timber industry groups are hailing the rule change as a positive step, while conservationists say it could lead to extinction for the spotted owl. We hear from Chris Cadwell, forester and natural resource analyst with the Association of O&C Counties and Susan Jane Brown, staff attorney at the Western Environmental Law Center.

On this edition of the Ecology Hour with hosts Tim Bray and Bob Spies: For millions of years, Barred Owls lived in the hardwood forests of eastern North America, while Spotted Owls lived in the conifer forests on the Pacific coast. In the 20th century, Barred Owls began expanding to the west, and today they are found throughout the original range of the Spotted Owl. Dr. Jack Dumbacher, Curator of Ornithology and Mammalogy at the California Academy of Sciences, tells the fascinating story of the Barred Owl invasion of West Coast forests, and the scientific, environmental, ethical and legal questions it raises.

The story of how the Endangered Species Act went from unanimous passage under a Republican president to becoming a deeply partisan wedge. The act was passed to protect big, beloved animals like bald eagles and blue whales; no one thought it would apply to a motley, reclusive owl. In this episode from Oregon Public Broadcasting's Timber Wars, a story about saving the last of America's old growth forests and the push to roll back environmental protections.

As the trombonist who got run over by Cal’s Kevin Moen at the end of The Play--the epic, five-lateral kickoff return that decided the 1982 Big Game--Gary Tyrrell has spent decades recalling his place in football history. He does that here, expansively and hilariously, and so much more. From Stanford band transgressions to over-the-top pranks to killer Grateful Dead shows to an unmatched case of the Sunday Scaries, Gary hits all the right notes.

This episode we're sharing "Timber Wars," from OPB. The show explores the fight over old growth forests in the Pacific Northwest. And at the center of that fight was… a bird! The spotted owl became a lightning rod and a symbol of the divisions between timber interests and environmentalists back in the 90s. And there are some interesting parallels between the spotted owl and the greater sage-grouse and the fights it has sparked in sagebrush country, today. This is the third episode of the series, you can find the rest by searching "Timber Wars" wherever you get your podcasts. 

This special episode of AP is a mini-sode unlike any other episode preceding it. It is a sound collage compiled by Zan Marsh

The Greater Sage-Grouse has eclipsed the Spotted Owl as perhaps the most controversial North American bird in the 21st century. These strange, wonderful birds live exclusively in the sagebrush steppe of the intermountain west. But they are in decline and protecting them has sparked fights between stakeholders across the region. Host Ashley Ahearn is a newcomer to sagebrush country, and she uses her personal journey — as an outsider trying to understand rural life — to serve as the proxy for listeners. She went from filing news stories on deadline to herding cows on horseback — and she talks about it in the show, weaving together her flailing attempts to understand country life with her quest to understand what it is about the Greater Sage-Grouse that gets so many people riled up. Grouse is an eight-part podcast series produced in partnership with BirdNote Presents and distributed in collaboration with Boise State Public Radio.

  “And I think it saved the day, because we didn't have any money.” —Captain Rainbow     About: No place has tested the currents of change more than the Anderson Valley, a Gaza Strip-sized setting hidden in the hills of Northern California. Home to the language of Boontling, a fast fading past prose of the old frontier, the fate of the area’s kitschy tongue relies not on whether the valley will change, but how. And why.   Show Notes: [00:40] “Curious” by Blue Dot Sessions Related: A short video profile of O’Kane busking in New York City [03:10] “Time” by Morgan O’Kane [04:30] Light reading on Wes Smoot (The Anderson Valley Advertiser) [05:35] An alternate definition for the origin of the “buckey walter” [06:00] “Town Market” by Blue Dot Sessions [06:20]  Light reading on the discovery of the Anderson Valley And a step back (Walt Wines) [06:30] A close look at where valley is located (Cleveland State University) [07:05] Boontling: An American Lingo by Charles C.

Regarded as one of the rarest birds in the world, the California Condor is the largest land bird in North America with a wingspan of up to 9 ½ feet and a weight of up to 23 pounds. At one point, only 22 of these magnificent creatures remained in the world. Now, through Herculean efforts in reintroduction, there are more than 400 and more than 70 of these are flying over southern Utah and northern Arizona.The Mexican Spotted Owl is also an endangered bird with little more than 2,000 remaining in the United States. This 16-19 inch tall, under two-pound creature, with a wingspan of 42-45 inches is also found in Grand Canyon and is also the subject of study and recovery efforts. In this episode of On the Road and Mac and Molly, we hear fromJanice Stroud-Settles, a wildlife biologist at Grand Canyon National Park, about these fascinating birds and the efforts that have been spent and are being expended in bringing them back from the brink of extinction.
