Minnesota's love of loons is everywhere these days, from license plates to our pro soccer team's nickname. But it took decades for lawmakers to make the loon our state bird. The goldfinch and scarlet tanager are among the others that nearly took the title instead. Kevin Duchschere joins host Erica Pearson to discuss the surprising history of how the loon landed its role. LINKS: Why is the loon Minnesota's state bird? It almost didn't happen. Loon call recording from Mark Robbins / Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

JoJo tells off her trolls and talks with guest Jess Piper about Democratic strategy going into the Trump takeover.

Editor: Does the official state bird need defending? Yes. A popular website, tpwmagazine.com, is asking people to vote for what bird best represents Texas and could end the 97-year title held by the Northern mockingbird. Voting has begun and ends May 15, 2024. I am an avid bird watcher and have witnessed all the birds on the list of replacements. In my opinion, you won't find a better defender of territory, singing, hunting, or aerial acrobatics than the Northern mockingbird. She represents the state with Texas pride. Please take a few minutes to visit the website and help defend her...Article Link

Every bird hunter reaches a point in their life when they desire to travel to a different state and hunt a new species. There are too many intriguing birds and landscapes to stay satisfied with hunting near home. Alternatively, in some states, one must travel to find success. While the culmination of a good bird hunt is ultimately the point, flush, and successful taking of the target species, getting to that point on an out-of-state hunt can be difficult.

Would you believe me if I told you anchovies fell from the sky in San Francisco? Well, that is literally what has happened there, and it couldn't have been a better omen for our one of our guest's restaurants, The Anchovy Bar.  Chef Stuart Brioza was named one of the Best New chefs by Food & Wine magazine in 2003, and is also the founder, partner, and chef of State Bird Provisions, The Progress, and The Anchovy Bar, all of which are in San Francisco. Not to mention a self-appointed chief of the janitorial department according to his Instagram page. This intuitive and innovative chef took a chance on a unique and eclectic concept in a new neighborhood to provide locally sourced food presented in a way the local community hadn't seen before. In a small plate, tapa style, but served on dim sum carts rolling around the dining room at SBP. He took a chance and was able to be wildly successful, which has put him in a position where most chefs and restaurateurs wish to be.  Stuart knows exactly where his food is sourced from and uses only the freshest ingredients to create his dishes, allowing them to come to life on their own. A chef's dream!

New Mexico's State Bird is famous as a cartoon character, but it turns out not much was known by scientists about the roadrunner until University of New Mexico undergraduate Tina Guo took on these birds for her senior thesis.

This episode of On the Fly by tablehopper is with Stuart Brioza, the chef and co-owner of State Bird Provisions, The Progress, and now right around the corner, the newly opened The Anchovy Bar. Heads up: this episode is by far our longest, but as you settle in, I hope you’ll enjoy the deep storytelling in this episode. We talk about what it’s like to open a business in the pandemic, and what it was like for them to be closed while they tried to save their two existing restaurants, navigating a mountain of paperwork and an uncertain path into an unclear future, while trying to look out for their incredible team. This conversation is also really fun: I love the deep dive we get to take with Stuart on The Anchovy Bar menu, his ingredient sourcing, and fascinating storytelling about our local ingredients, with a look into his creative process. All three of his restaurants with his wife and partner Nicole Krasinski are absolute creative culinary powerhouses, offering unique tasting experiences and culinary journeys and a particular brand of hospitality, like no other restaurant group.Get ready to geek out on anchovies, and oysters, and butter, and take a fun walk through their pantry vis-à-vis their ingenious Atomic Workshop line. I hope you enjoy basking in Stuart’s profound passion for not only being a chef but someone who really loves to feed people, on many levels.

The NBA is now a 365-day league and it's never been more present in pop culture. From Kevin Durant's burner accounts to LeBron taking his talents anywhere to trusting the Process, the NBA is becoming a pop culture requirement. At the same time, sports can have gatekeepers that make it insular and frustrating for people who aren't die hard fans. We’re here to prove that basketball is entertaining to follow for all fans, whether you’re actively watching the games or not.

On our latest show: Fantastic flights of winter finches; Rick Wright on The Future of Birding; Mike O’Connor on crazy bird names; and the State Bird of California.

The Goldfinch is the Washington State bird. I learned this from my enthusiastic mother-in-law, who was trying to encourage me to get a specific birdfeeder. She has one that attracts mainly Goldfinches, and has spent many hours sitting and watching these yellow, social animals fly in and out of the area, fighting for a space on the birdfeeder. I didn't buy the bird feeder, but Margo turned up one day with it in hand, as well as a bag of seeds, and a laminated poster about Washington State birds. She was obviously adamant that(1) we have all the equipment. The birdfeeder is just outside of the kitchen window next to some trees. We have another one a few feet away for the general population, and a hummingbird feeder next to the sunnier side of our deck. So we are all set up to birdwatch! Well, you know what happens when you're ready to photograph animals, - nothing. Days went by and I didn't see a bird at all anywhere near the feeder. It wasn't until Margo came by several days later, that birds started to turn up. It was odd; as soon as she walked into the kitchen, three Goldfinches appeared and clung to(2) the feeder. We watched in amazement at their sudden appearance and their brightly colored feathers. Then as soon as she left, they did! She must be the Goldfinch woman.... Since that day, we have had a daily flock of them, mainly juveniles; they are so small! It's very satisfying to watch them. Not only are they beautiful, but they are so energetic and feisty! There is always a pecking order(3) in each crowd; someone always has to be the boss! This little bird only grows to about 5 inches long, with a wingspan of 8. It's unusual in that it molts twice a year, gaining new, bright yellow feathers just before the mating season, and again before Autumn. It only eats seeds, and loves sunflowers and thistles in particular. Thankfully, humans don't bother the birds. In fact, they are quite happy with us. Many eat and live in backyards, and also in cleared forests that have become fields, as they like open spaces. So what we have with the Goldfinch is a lovely, beneficial relationship.  1. 'To be adamant that + subjunctive' means to insist on something. a. They are adamant that their daughter break up with her boyfriend. b. The teacher is adamant that all her students read one book a week. 2. 'Clung' is the past of 'to cling' which means to hang on for dear life! a. I'm right here; you don't have to cling on to me! b. The cat clung on to the top of the curtain while the dogs barked at it underneath. 3. 'A pecking order' means a ranking, someone at the top who is most 'important' and then a descending order of others. a. The lion is the top of the pecking order in a pride. b. He would like to determine who is at the top of the office pecking order, but he doesn't have the authority.

As we celebrate making it to 50 episodes, 'The Crew' has an honest conversation about Police Brutality, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, the riots erupting all over the country and so much more. Plus 'The Crew' has a hilarious debate about birds.

Producer’s Note: we're going to continue bringing you timeless stories and important interviews, some of which have newfound relevance because of COVID-19, and some that are explicitly unrelated. This episode you’re about to hear was recorded during San Francisco's Beer Week in February 2020, so the context is removed a bit from what’s happening in the world right now, but the information is still valuable, and we want to share it with you. Listen for an update at the end of the episode. How many times have you sat down at a nice restaurant and perused the drinks menu, only to find yourself thoroughly disappointed by the beer list? Ben Henning, a beer buyer for two Michelin-starred sister restaurants in San Francisco, makes it his life’s work to ensure that that never happens to his patrons. Henning works with State Bird Provisions and The Progress, two widely lauded neighboring restaurants in the city’s Fillmore District. You’ll often catch him on the floor working alongside waiters, discussing the restaurants’ robust beer offerings with guests, and espousing the merits of pairing beer with their many exceptional dishes. But Henning isn’t always successful at converting the wine drinkers. In the high-end restaurant game, convincing guests to consider beer over wine or spirits is always an uphill battle, even though Henning, a certified Cicerone with years of buying experience, is bringing in the best of the best. On any given day, State Bird and The Progress carry carefully selected, rare Lambics and farmhouse ales. On the day I arrive to speak with Henning, in the middle of San Francisco Beer Week, the restaurant is bustling ahead of its 4 p.m. opening. A line is forming outside of locals hoping to snag one of the few tables kept open for walk-ins. Management is readying for the opening of two new restaurants elsewhere in the city. Upstairs, staff is setting up for a private event, and just after Henning and I begin our conversation, we’re asked to relocate to another room—you’ll hear that break in the interview. Even within the chaos, Henning is cool-headed. Staying level in ever-changing circumstances is what his work is all about. This is Ben Henning of State Bird Provisions and The Progress. Listen in.

It’s not everyday you hear about a local disc jockey locking himself in the control room and playing one record over and over again. The Mockingbird is only about 10 inches long, but like any true Texan, is a fierce protector of its home, its nest, and the surrounding area.

While the Cardinals haven't inflicted fear in any opponents' minds over the past few years, after this start, Carolina can't underestimate anyone--except for themselves at this point.    Can Cam become Cam again?

Some call the mosquito, The Florida State Bird. No one wants to spend their time outside worried about the danger and aggravation of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes don't just make you itch; they can do serious harm to you and your children. There's no need to suffer with bites or keep your children indoors. That's why we've invited mosquito control expert Oscar Dominguez to talk about prevention, treatment, and the dangers of the mosquito. Have an issue or question for the Condo Coaches?

Ada Limón joins Paul Muldoon to read and discuss Jennifer L. Knox’s “Pimp My Ride” and her own poem “State Bird.”

This week on "A Way with Words":  It's the language of Wisconsin: If you're nibbling on slippery Jims or sipping sweet soup, chances are you're in the Badger State. Also, the famous abolitionist whose name became an exclamation. And how to respond if someone says to you, "Well, aren't you the chawed rosin!" Plus, parking garages vs. parking ramps, trouper vs. trooper, my boo, and the possible origin of toodles.FULL DETAILSThe robin may be the official State Bird of Wisconsin, but a listener from the Badger State shares a limerick about the unofficial state bird: the mosquito.Boo and my boo are a terms of endearment common among African-Americans, going at least as far back as mid-90s jams like the Ghost Town DJ's' "My Boo." In parts of Wisconsin, parking garages are called parking ramps.The part of a church known as a foyer, vestibule, or lobby is sometimes called the narthex. This word appears to go back to the ancient Greek term for "fennel," although beyond that, its etymology is unclear.What is sweet soup? It's a Wisconsin specialty, made of cherry or raspberry juice mixed with prunes, raisins, and tapioca, and served either warm or cold.Quiz Guy John Chaneski has a twist on a challenge that's a favorite among members of the National Puzzlers League, the classic fill-in-the-blank game called The Flat.The exclamations I'll be John Brown! and I'll be John Browned! have a sticky history, going back to view that the abolitionist John Brown was doing something damnable by arming a slave revolt.Is the correct expression He's a real trouper or He's a real trooper? In its original form, the correct word was trouper, and referred to that the mantra of dedicated actors everywhere, The show must go on!In Wisconsin, a slippery Jim is a kind of pickle.A former waiter in Underhill, Vermont, is annoyed by restaurant patrons who respond to a server's query with I'm good rather than No, thank you when asked if they've had enough.Among Sconnies, or Wisconsinites, a synonym for beer belly is Milwaukee goiter. In parts of Wisconsin where the dialect is heavily influenced by German, it's not unusual to hear phrases, like Let's go buy some bakery for "let's buy some baked goods," and from little on up, meaning "from a young age."I don't want nairn, meaning "I don't want any," is a contraction of never a one, and it's been used for hundreds of years. Well, aren't you the chawed rosin! is a reference to the chewy sap of a gum tree, considered a sweet treat. It's used to refer to people who think highly of themselves, and is heard primarily in the South Midlands of the United States.In Wisconsin, the game Mother, May I? goes by the name Captain, May I?Toodles, meaning "See you later," may come from toddle, as in to "amble" or "take leave," or it might simply derive from the sound of an old car horn.Christmas Fooling, the Norwegian tradition of dressing up and visiting folks around Christmas time, was once popular among young Wisconsinites.This episode was hosted by Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett.--A Way with Words is funded by its listeners: http://waywordradio.org/donateGet your language question answered on the air!
