Podcasts about woodpeckers

This week we traverse a changed forest that should be home to one of the world's largest woodpeckers, the ivory-billed woodpecker, but only the echoes of its song and tapping remain. In the news, we celebrate the life of another recently passed bird, the UK's oldest wild white-tailed eagle, who produced a record number of chicks. All this and more. The cupboard is open, come on in!

This story is the third and final in a series about pileated woodpeckers—a series that touches the earth of Oaxaca, Mexico, that invites us to immerse ourselves in a cottonwood forest in Montana, USA, that expands to touch on global themes like reciprocity and our human relationship with nature. This episode includes a passage by the writer Osprey Oreille Lake about reciprocity and gift economies from her book The Story is In Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis. Thanks to Osprey for giving me permission to quote her words. As always, I've also included various natural sound recordings that I made, among them: western wood-pewee (Contopus sordidulus) songs, pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) calls and drumming, songs of a Wilson's warbler (Cardellina pusilla) and a yellow warbler (Setophaga petechia), the call of a Cassin's kingbird (Tyrannus vociferans), the wind through the tall dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum), the song of a Middle American screech-owl (Megascops guatemalae), songs of boreal chorus frogs (Pseudacris maculata), and a singing western screech-owl (Megascops kennicottii). As always, I depend on the support of my listeners to continue doing this work.

The next sequel we will discuss is "Inspector Gadget 2". For it, I chatted with the Director Alex Zamm. Alex talked about his journey up outside Woodstock, NY to Hollywood that involved winning free movie tickets for a year to a local theater after winning a contest, cartooning and going up to Mad Magazine, then some stage, then he starting doing interviews for 6 years, and then started working on movies with a friend which drove him to filmmaking.  We talked about getting something he made noticed by Monty Python, having Scorsese as his teacher, Sundance, Upright Citizens Brigade, writing on Green Lantern in the early 90s, Woody Woodpecker, Larry the Cable Guy, approach to directing sequels, and more. This is a fun one.

As spring arrives in full force across the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, I invite you to take a few minutes to immerse yourself in the sounds and happenings of a spring black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera) forest along the Clark Fork River near Missoula, Montana, USA. This is part two in a three-part series following a pair of nesting pileated woodpeckers (Dryocopus pileatus). In this episode, I track them from the end of cavity excavation in late April through the nestling stage in mid-June.This story features wildlife photographers Lea Frye (https://leaf-images.com/) and Rachel Ritacco (https://www.ritaccophotography.com/), who accompanied me on one of my visits to the pileated woodpecker nest. As usual, the podcast includes an abundance of audio I recorded in the field, including various cuts of pileated woodpeckers as well as sounds of American robin (Turdus migratorius), tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), song sparrow (Melospiza melodia), red-naped sapsucker (Sphyrapicus nuchalis), northern waterthrush (Parkesia noveboracensis), northern house wren (Troglodytes aedon), wind in the cottonwoods, and May rain.As always, I depend on the support of my listeners to continue doing this work.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on a woodpecker invading a Massachusetts town.

I miss Adam Sandler's dirty comedy albums. Amusement park goers got stuck on a ride at Denver's Elitch Gardens. Massachusetts town Rockport vandalized by woodpecker who's damaged 25 cars in mating season pecking spree. Shaq should get an adult diaper endorsement. Australian radio station didn't tell listeners that their midday host was artificial intelligence. I explain why this isn't a big deal. Plus, why music radio talents are on the low end of media talent. Like we discussed last week, Shedeur Sanders fell to the 5th round to the Browns. During the NFL draft, Shedeur was pranked by a family member of the Atlanta Falcons. Roger Goodell expects 16 international games a year soon, including some in Asia. UK, Germany, Mexico, and Brazil are already hosting NFL games.

Hello Libration Nation! This week we are discussing Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins. This is a love story… kind of. It's about a princess, an outlaw, a lot of philosophical rambling, and a surprising number of Camel cigarettes. Tom Robbins basically asks: how do you make love stay? The answers are weird, hilarious, and occasionally involve explosives. I'm so excited for my guest this week: Michael Bickett is an award-winning podcaster with over a decade of experience and 1,000+ podcast credits. As the Founder and COO of Certified Crucial, he helps creators monetize their podcasts through eco-friendly, custom merchandise solutions. Michael is also the Founder and CEO of Geeks Under the Influence, an award-winning digital media company and podcast network.

The hot March winds buffet the jet as we thunder skyward, shattering the quiet of the dry tropical forest below and spewing hot gases of ancient sea life. I crane my head and say a silent goodbye to the Huatulco landscape that has become a second home to me. We've already rocketed higher than the Cerro Huatulco; the dry course of the Arroyo Todos Santos slips by in an instant and then we're banking towards the coast, a wide wide turn over the tierra natal of my partner and generations of her family. Goodbye for now, my loved ones, que Dios los cuide. This story is a journey through the personal and the geopolitical in this critical time: a journey that seeks, as always, to strengthen our connection with the earth. Through bittersweet goodbyes, a tense international border crossing, and an unstable political landscape, this is my personal story of finding a positive way forward. It's a journey towards the pileated woodpeckers, marking the beginning of this uncertain spring by immersing us in a cottonwood gallery forest where the woodpeckers are excavating their nest. I hope that you find something meaningful in it as you listen, just as I did as I was producing it.As usual, I've included lots of natural sounds that I recorded: a song sparrow (Melospiza melodia) serenading the spring, the pileated woodpeckers (Dryocopus pileatus) calling and excavating, a northern flicker (Colaptes auratus), a red-naped sapsucker (Sphyrapicus nuchalis), a flock of tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor). And the distinctly not-so-natural sound of a jet taking off.As always, I depend on the support of my listeners to continue doing this work.

Of the seven species of woodpeckers on Cuba's official checklist, one is almost definitely extinct and one has appeared in the country only as an extremely rare vagrant. Laura saw all five of the others on her February visit to Cuba.

During the phenology report for the week of March 25, 2025, Staff Phenologist John Latimer finds hints of green in the woods and remarks on the (in)edibility of Pileated Woodpeckers.

Like a jazz player beating out a drum roll, a woodpecker uses its bill to rap out a brisk series of notes. Early spring resounds with the percussive hammering of woodpeckers. Their rhythmic drumming says to other woodpeckers, "This is my territory!" We also hear them knocking on wood when they carve holes in trees to create nest cavities or reach insects. For any woodpecker, it's all about proclaiming a signal as far and as loud as possible. Look for Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in the Northeast and farther north, and Red-breasted Sapsuckers in the West.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Woodpeckers, as a group, eat far more ants than most other birds do. Many other vertebrates tend to avoid ants because of their stings or because of the noxious chemicals they contain, like formic acid. But woodpeckers just love them. A Pileated Woodpecker's diet may include up to 50% ants!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions: I am making a toy box for my grandson out of white oak. The dimensions will be 38” width, 18” depth, and 30” high. The front will be 4/4 quarter sawn, while the back and sides will be 4/4 flat sawn lumber. I plan to attach the front and sides, and the back and sides via dovetails. Since quarter sawn wood will move less than flat sawn, should I be concerned about the wood moving at different ratios?  Also, can you recommend hinges that will prevent the top of the toy box from crashing down on my grandson's fingers? Mike My question concerns the router table that I built myself out of out of MDF and 2x4s last year. I'm pretty satisfied with it overall. I am by no means an expert, but I'd have to say having the router in a table seems to be roughly 1,000% more effective than using the router freehand. Having said that, I've been struggling with the fence, especially When I'm trying to edge join a board. My approach for securing the fence has been to clamp down each end of it with a trigger clamp, placing an additional clamp on the support frame or what have you at the rear of the router table. I've included a picture of my setup for this as well for clarity's sake. Here's the problem I'm running into: I position the fence, clamp it down, then check it again to make sure it hasn't come out of alignment. When I initially begin running boards over the router table, it works great. However, before too long, sometimes as soon as the second board, I find the fence is no longer properly aligned. When I check it I always find that the fence has shifted back towards the far end of the router table, usually by a 32nd of an inch or so. As you are all aware, this small difference has a pretty significant impact on how my boards come out, particularly when edge joining. My assumption is that this shift is due to my exerting pressure against the fence while feeding material through to keep the work piece tight against it. Do any of you have any suggestions regarding how I can secure my fence more effectively? Part of me wonders if I am just applying too much sideways pressure to my work pieces, but I also feel like I am applying just enough pressure to keep it from wandering away from the fence when passing the bit. Zach Owens Guy's Questions: I'd also like to hear about your process for organizing your shop space and how often you revisit the layout of your shop. As a follow-up to each question, I'd be curious if organizing and maintaining a shop are aspects of woodworking that you enjoy? Or loathe? Or maybe just tolerate? Marc I think there is a good question about red vs blue. red corner is woodpeckers, the YouTube influencers certified measuring and layout tools. Then there's the poor humans with affordable blue corner igaging. I believe woodpeckers is rated in their accuracy to .002 inch and igaging is .002 inch. So, I wonder if that .001 would make my skills somehow greater?? I think honestly that having a set of tools that I can use without each being a different measurement, as tape measures often would be. I also think about cost, even with a higher shipping fee due to my location I nearly outfitted my shop with all the marking and measuring tools at roughly $300 instead of $300 for one ruler or square. Thanks for the ongoing pod cast hope you all have a great year. Paul Mitchell Huy's Questions:  On the face of wood, there is clearly a right and wrong direction to plane. Going the wrong direction causes gouging, chipping, and/or a time tough pushing the plane across the wood. How do you tell the correct direction to go with the plane, without having to risk messing up the piece by potentially going the wrong direction across the face of the wood with your plane? George  I just made my first attempt at cutting dovetails for a small box with dividers that my wife asked me to make her for work. I cut them using a router table that I made just for the occasion. It went fairly well, meaning that they all fit and there aren't any unsightly large gaps. Starting with test pieces was definitely the way to go. I did have one issue, however. I'm not sure what the appropriate name for the different pieces of a dovetail are, but when I was cutting the female pieces I kept running into an issue where the router bit would jerk the work piece away from the fence, resulting in a somewhat crooked portion in my otherwise straight dovetail cut. I tried feeding the work piece into the bit from each side to see if one direction worked better than the other, but that didn't seem to help. I know that typically the recommendation is to make several shallow passes, but obviously this is not possible with a dovetail. Do you have any guesses as to what I might have been doing wrong? Should I have been pushing the work piece more firmly against the fence? Thanks in advance for your answers and insight. Can't wait to hear your next episode. Sincerely,Z achary T Owens

Red-headed Woodpeckers have mastered the art of high-contrast fashion. Both males and females have deep-crimson head feathers. Their clean white body feathers are offset by large patches of ink black feathers on their neck, wings, and tail. This is why you'll hear some folks refer to them as "flying checkerboards."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?
