"Baby parrots seized from a smuggler are being cared for in Florida. A bag filled with smuggled parrot eggs was found at the Miami international airport, since hatching in March, 24 parrots are being cared for by the rare species conservatory foundation. His birds are curious. They're loving, they're sweet. Their babies. Everything's developing in front of your eyes. And they're beautiful little creatures. It was the hatchlings faint chirping inside a carry on bag at the airport that brought them to the attention of a customs and border protection officer. Doctor Paul reylo of the conservatory says a vast majority of parrot trafficking cases and in tragedy, Paris live a long time, they are sentient creatures. They're highly intelligent, very social, and these guys deserve a chance. The question will be, where will they wind up?

Landowner's Dream Turned Nightmare Due to Bureaucratic Indifference
"I had a landowner who, all they had in this world was a piece of land, the mortgage, in California. This is my gosh, in the 90s. They're both dead now. And they had 600 net in it. They had a square mile land, 640 acres. Maybe ten square miles of land. And they were going to sell and make them money and retire. They had held it forever. They didn't have a lot. They were modest people. And my client was the real estate developer that wanted to buy the property and develop it. But we could not get the Army Corps of engineers in the U.S. fish and wildlife service to return phone calls. We could not get them to act. We could not do anything. And so the mortgage left this planet after 15 years of litigation, trying to get the agencies to act. They are indifferent to the American people. I am

"I mean, that'd be stupid. There were a bunch of great guys there. Those were pretty elite guys, but I was really good at my job. I mean, I was a the number one whip over there. I was very proud of that. It sounds kind of silly, but the whip is like if you're not there's a supervisor and then there's the working agents and then there's of the working agents. You're the number one guy. So it was pretty cool. But I like my podcast too. It's my favorite thing to do. At Wayne 1957. Can citizens volunteer to work with the Secret Service to protect Trump like an auxiliary or volunteer force? No. No. Now you can volunteer to work events. And one of the things I'd recommend is become a member of your local publican club. Okay. When the president comes to town, that's typically the first place they go to volunteers for volunteers. And folks, I'll tell you, before you go six feet deep on this rock we call earth, you should do that. A presidential event is just different. It's just different. You should go there. You should check it out sometime. But no, you can't volunteer. They'd appreciate it. But the amount of training that goes into the Secret Service, acting the way it does, if God forbid there's an attack, there'd be way too much deconfliction and stuff like that. Okay. Let's see. Hey, Dan, love the show at Zach Wins. In your early podcast, you mentioned you were not a fan of Roger Moore's James Bond. I was wondering who your favorite Bond actor is. Actually, I like Roger Moore. I'm pretty sure I'm saying the opposite, how a lot of people don't like Roger Moore, but I did. But there's just no beating Sean Connery. I mean, come on. Sean Connery was James Bond. I mean, Sean Connery is just like the coolest man on the planet earth. He just was. I'm not into the new movies. Daniel Craig seems like he's doing okay and all, it's just, there's no Sean Connery. Who was that guy who did one, was it George Lazenby? He did that. George, I'll start a loop. He's my favorite, George Lazenby. Hey Dan, as a former agent, if you see one of your subjects you were protecting doing something illegal, would you not be responsible by law to act accordingly? Yeah, absolutely. If you witness illegality, then yeah, you're darn right. You got to do something about it. You're a federal law enforcement officer first. That's how it goes. There's a lot of secret service stuff. At Mace Windu, hey Dan, what's your most memorable story from the Secret Service days? Probably being in Kingston, Jamaica, with Jenna Bush. She was doing some interviews. Kingston, Jamaica has a real crime problem, and she wanted to go to the worst part of them. And the Kingston police guys we were with from Jamaica, they were cool. They were like, Naman! We're going not to Naman! We were on our own, they wouldn't go. They were like, you guys go, you're going on your own. They weren't scared, they were just stupid. It's not that they were scared, it was so dumb. They were like, if you're going to go, we're not going to be part of this stupidity. So we brought her, we were Diane with Sawyer from 2020. And of course, a bunch of people showed up, like machetes and stuff. You can actually see the footage on 2020 if one of out you there wants to pull it. Put in Diane Sawyer, Jenna Bush, Secret Service. You'll see one of my partners, this guy Tim, on night vision goggles or a night vision camera with the MP5 out. That's how bad it got. That was a crazy story. Let's see. Wildlife studies. Hey, Dan, why did you choose to attend Penn State from the 2002 graduate? We are. We are. Yes, we are. You go to Penn State, you know that's what about. I wanted to get an MBA, but I didn't want a fully online program. I wanted a program that had some in -learning, in -school learning element. I just found a lot of the online programs It would be one thing and Penn State had both. It was like a mixed program. You could go back, you could do an externship there, which we had to do, so that's why. I had a good time. I learned a lot there. Hey Dan, who eats more Twinkies? Alvin Bragg or Chris Christie? I've looked into this actually. I've done some pretty heavy investigative work on this. And without question, Alvin Bragg. The original Twinkies. Actually, the original Twinkies was Vindman. Bragg is actually Twinkies too, but we'll wipe him. Wipe him out clean. Bragg is actually the original. We're just making him the original Twinkies. I would love to see Bragg on a search warrant get stuck in a doorway somewhere. That would spectacular to watch. At Patreon. Mohawk Dan, what are you going to do to make a way for us radio show listeners to watch your show? We used to watch it on vaccination, and now they're out of the picture. I promise you, sir. I promise you. I am working on it. It is only a matter of setting up a way for payment a system. Why a payment? because I have a bunch of contract stuff that I don't want to bore you with. But it's to got be behind a paywall for reasons way beyond the scope of this question. And in order to make the payment system parallel economy compliant, because I don't want to be involved with any woke banks or anything, everything I do takes twice as long. Folks, you understand, and as much as I can, I walk the walk. Sometimes it's impossible. Sometimes in business, I have to do company business with companies that are woke because there's no alternative. I don't have a choice. But when I do have an alternative, which is 80 % of the time, I go with the alternative. The catch is a lot of these parallel economy companies, one of them we just found out about the other day, they're just, they're not ready yet. So it takes long a time. I mean, even when we do construction work and things like that, we make sure because I don't want people and in around my house or offices, I can't trust. You know, we make sure that these are people who are trustworthy. All right. Let's see. Last one. I'll take your call after the break. Hey, Dan, I just read Vision of the Anointed. Amazing book by Thomas based Sowell on the number of times you mentioned it. I see where you got your aha moment. Any you can recommend. Absolutely. A Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl about his time in the concentration camps is just incredible. You think you got, you know, you're struggling through bad times. Read that story, man. That is just an amazing story. So just give me a quick update. Again, news broke today. You're following it now. The indictment was released against Trump. They're claiming, you know, he asked his attorneys if it would be better to not tell the FBI if they didn't have documents, that there was some military plan in there. I trust nothing from the I just don't I trust nothing from the government. Swear to it in court. They swore to it in court in the FISA warrants. I just don't trust them. And the hard reality is there's a political argument to be made. If you don't like find the legal argument is nil. He could have declassified it. He could He had the power to do that. I'll take your calls coming up next. We'll be right back. No. Henry Repeating

Something Has Happened in America...
"Has happened in America where we can call it the left, but it's really the anti American left. This is not good liberals like Alan Dershowitz or Naomi wolf or whoever you want to mention. People that love America that love truth and justice and the American way. No, these are people that are at war with the freedoms and the ordered liberty for which patriots have died through the centuries. They are at war with America and they have taken control of certain institutions much of it, I guess, backed by George Soros, who isn't actually Satan, but they're good friends. And the fact of the matter is this is happening in America. And if we don't stand against it and recognize it for what it is, it's the abrogation of America. The founder's vision of justice for all when it happens on this level, I kind of, what I find funny, Sean, is it's sort of like, you know, it's like watching an old wildlife film or something and these two animals are battling it out. And the level of desperation has just gone code red that they would do this shows that they don't care if they burn down the house. They just can not bear the idea that Trump might be the next president. So they will do they will do the kind of thing that it's just impossible for us to comprehend that anyone would do, but we're kind of there. In other words, they've done a number of these sorts of things. And they have inured or they're trying to endure the American public to increasingly extreme action. So

That's the only thing I can think of really. Yeah, I can't actually think of anything else. Just pineapple pizza is like people think it's weird, but then it's becoming a bit mainstream. But I know it's very individual specific. I can't think of really anything else. Okay, that's cool. What's your favorite season? Winter. Yeah, me too. Yeah.

I just chill for the most part. Okay. Yeah, I chill too as well. If you could get an exotic pet, what kind of a companion would you like to have? Wombats are pretty cool. I will say. I don't know if they're exotic though, but they're a pretty cool Australian animal. So I think I'd want a bat if I had to pick one. Cool. Do you like spicy food? No, I can't handle spice at all. I can do very, very mild spice, but beyond that it's too much, too much. Okay, I understand. Yeah, even the non -spicy option sometimes is still pretty spicy for me. I have very low tolerance for spice. Okay. If you could travel back in time, which decade would you like to live in? I really liked the end of the 1800s. The Red Dead Redemption 2 time was like, I loved that game. It was a really cool time. We had the Industrial Revolution coming upon us. Everyone was traveling on horses. It was pretty cool. I'd love to go back to 1890 kind of thing, before we had the World Wars and when things were all coming together to make the modern world as we know it today.

Biden Approves Drilling Project and Snubs Climate Change Allies
"So much surprisingly, Joe Biden has approved a massive drilling project in Alaska. This project allows the oil company called conical Phillips to go ahead with a, it's actually a project a 30 year project of drilling. And it's called the willow project. And it's giving the climate change people and the environmentalist people a real heart attack, which is a good thing. It's a good thing in the sense that they don't know what to make of it. They are quote deeply disappointed in the actions of Biden, they're claiming that he made assurances to them that this sort of thing would not happen, but it is happening. And by the way, it comes on the heels of Biden assigning a bill that knocks out the rewrite of the D.C. criminal code. So this is sort of the second turn code ish act by Biden from the point of view of the left and the question I want to look at is why did he do it? Now, a few details, this is a drilling project that will produce 576 million barrels of oil, so it's a big deal. And of course, he has Ann Alexander from the national and natural resources defense council. This would be an enormous carbon bomb. It's the single largest project currently proposed on federal lands because it involves three separate drilling sites. Now, the willow project had been greenlighted had been cleared by the Trump administration, and then Biden came back came in and stopped it. And so it was kind of halted in its tracks. But now Biden has to explain why he is essentially giving a clearance to a Trump approved project. And he says, well, we negotiated with conical Phillips. They've agreed to back off of some leases on federal land in an area apparently of Alaska that is home to Caribou and other wildlife. So this is apparently the concession made by ConocoPhillips. Yeah, we'll take this massive drilling project, but we'll give up this thing over here. And the left, of course, sees right through it, and they're not exactly appeased.

Jack Monta said his secretary of Louisiana's wildlife and fisheries. Jimmy Laurent with the fish and wildlife service says they need upkeep. Over time that infrastructure will start to deteriorate. And ultimately leak, especially in this environment. Leak cancer causing chemicals and could emit methane. The owners of the wells can't be found.

Both of you guys, the thing that you guys have in common is that you are wildlife biologists here. Wildlife technicians. Working for wildlife biology aspiring biologists. Yeah, yeah. One day. But I would say that you guys have both worked on some really cool projects. And. What's a good project without some grunt work going into it, you know? It's all the grunt work. That's why we work for the biologists. Work for the biologists. But no, so you guys are wildlife technicians, right? So on the big things that y'all do is go out on studies, you guys, somebody want to break that down for us. What is wildlife technician do? Yeah, so there's a lot of different things they can do. But in general, you're going to be working for a biologist or a state agency. Conducting some sort of research on wildlife, that's pretty much the gist of it. We both worked on a bunch of different projects, different species. So stating federal agencies. Private organizations. So Dylan, you went to school at Montana state, right? I did.

"Education courses out there and more voices out there talking to more people about what we have and how we got how we got here. And then we can start talking about where to go in the future. Did they teach any of that stuff in elementary school or middle school or high school back in Europe? I'm glad you brought that up because I meant to say that. It's like, that's where we really need to start too as some of this basic education. And it's probably happening in some places, but it's clearly not happening enough. And it needs to happen in urban areas. And just some of the shows that NatGeo, I'd love to, I'd love to work with some of these, and maybe it's maybe they teach, they bring things up at certain times, but we could do better, I guess. So we just need to, and one of my goals coming into the wildlife society was because I learned a good bit while I was at the TRC, not just about policy, but about the interface of communications. With policy and with the public and we focused a lot there, of course, on the hunting and fishing community and merged into the outdoor community as well. But the public. Who's who's working the public and we all, we all need to have a vested interest in working toward a more literate society on conservation and basic principles of fish and wildlife management. Yeah. Well, I think it's more important now than ever. And I always say this on this podcast anytime I'm talking with somebody in the conservation world. But I really believe that we're at a threshold for multiple reasons. Abe, just because population, right? That's number one. But also, I mean, what you were saying earlier with just indifference, right? I mean, maybe I don't have the correct perspective, right? Because my generation, I'm in it and there's the whole revisionist history thing going on for older generations, but the way I see it, I mean, there's like, and maybe my generation is just too young to have really made an impact on it yet, but I don't see any of the any of the folks that are really. Almost crazy for it, right? To where you're really going to make some changes. And I get concerned for that. And I think I'm going to give it some more time, right? Because I really do I want to give my life to conservation, right? I think it's just so important to me and seek outside obviously feels the same way. A lot of the people I know, my parents, my family, they're all super conservation minded, but I get worried that and it starts with education of the public and if somebody doesn't know what we have, they can't protect it. But I get worried for my generation. I don't know if maybe you felt the same back in your day or what? You know, it was probably a little different when I was a lot younger. I was so I was so immersed in this profession into wildlife and I've always been hunting deeply. This is my 50th year hunting in a row. 500 my whole life. My grandpa started taking me when I was 5 years old. I couldn't hunt legally then. It was ten years old and stayed Illinois. But I was always outside.

"Not the position of the wildlife society today, but I'm just questioning this as a scientist and a hunter, what sense does it make to allow hunters to shoot doves over water and then go back to the same pond and make them use steel as she waterfowl? Are you achieving the objective for waterfowl populations and non toxic shots? So it begs the question and there's not a lot of science on that. Not a lot of science yet. Yeah, so not on that cumulative impact of multiple seasons and different loads. That's where I was going. Okay. This is a big debate now on. Expansion and whether the fish and wildlife service should mandate non toxic and such. That's a big debate on going to. So there's basically two kinds of hunting that you can still hunt with lead. Big game and upland. And small thank you. Small game, yeah, small game rabbits and stuff like that. If you had to choose one, just in terms of environmental efficacy and I guess ethics to where one you only could choose one and that would be the bigger impact switching and banning lead would it be big game or would it be like small game? We'll lump small game and upload. Yeah, is that just because there's more animals that are end up eating the expelled carcasses of well, it's just the sheer volume of lead that's flung into the air. It doves in particular. I mean, I remember what the average is, my average is pretty good because I shoot pretty well. But I think it's like a ten or 12 shells per dove killed on I can't remember what it is. But I think if you think about all the pheasant owners all the upland game hunters are small upland bird hunters and small game hunters for rabbits and such the amount of this this year volume in the environment. That's where I would go. Yeah. With big game, I mean, I shoot two or three rounds at most a year. If I only have one tag, usually it's one round. So it's concentrated in that one animal. Obviously multiplied by multiple honors, but yeah, I would go with the up one. So why haven't they just straight up banned? Because bismuth and copper is, I feel like for upland, it's becoming a lot more popular. Why haven't they just straight up banned lead? Well, there's opposition to it. Obviously, again, largely from shooting sports, but also others too. And there's arguments there, I suppose, but certainly certainly an economic factor.

"It just shows support for the wildlife profession, the profession is showing that you're taking the steps to educate yourself and demonstrate that your professional society is recognizing you as a biologist, but the work doesn't necessarily change. The interesting thing there, this could go on for a long while, talking about the ins and outs of this, but it's not like very many employers require that CWB. We have a trademark, so if you look at in my email signature, you'll see I spell it out as a certified wildlife biologist, there's a little trademark R there. But some people just put CWB, but you don't necessarily necessarily guarantee you a job or get you a more pay or it's just not required. It's a really nice thing to have though. I did it for two reasons. One, at the time, well, first of all, just to support my professional society, it's just something offered by the wildlife society and this is the right thing to do. And it's got a nice to be recognized by your peers. But also I was working in the timber industry at the time and any little thing that you can do to demonstrate that you're credible wildlife person and even working in industry. There's perception factors there when you work in industry and because I've had consultants tell me it really helps them sometimes to have that certification behind their name and it certainly helps and professional testimony, those kinds of things. People just may view you a little bit differently if it's promoted, but the work's the same. Yeah. Well, I mean, I could imagine just being recognized as a wildlife biology in a society that was that Aldo Leopold had a big part in, I mean, it's just kind of a cool thing for a wildlife biologist.

"We have a whole committee that looks at these applications to be a certified wildlife biologist through the wildlife society. So I oversee everything. I run the inspiration that I run the oversee the show, but the staff really do all the hard work, so. Yeah, so essentially, if there's a wildlife biologist that has graduated from Montana state university, and I say that because that's my brother's situation. First on the top of the head. Graduated from two. Oh, nice. Nice. Yeah. So say, my brother, he got his wildlife biology degree. He would come to the wildlife society to essentially get training for in field operations. What kind of training do you do? Maybe break down kind of what a training session would be like in the wildlife society. And before I jump into that, let me just explain our structure just a little bit too. So we work at what we call headquarters, which is the wildlife society, which is an international, has an international framework, but we're very heavy to the U.S. and Canada. We're starting a chapter in Mexico pretty soon here. But we have state chapters and all states and sometimes multiple chapters in a state that's as large as California. And then there are sections that represent certain regions of the country. They're 7 of them in North America and the U.S. and one of them in Canada. So we have 8 sections and there's a representative of each of those sections, which again reflect a bunch of different states, central mountains, southwest, northeast, those kinds of geologic geographic breakdowns. Those representatives, those 8 representatives serve on our council. And then we have a four year term for the presidency.

"The FAA's wildlife hazard mitigation program has grown wings and taken off. This is innovation now. A decade ago, U.S. airways flight 1549 struck a flock of geese and faced total loss of engine power, forcing the pilots to ditch the plane in the Hudson River. The event, known as the miracle on the Hudson, increased awareness of wildlife hazards to flight. Today, the federal aviation administration's wildlife hazard mitigation program continues to focus on reducing wildlife hazards. Strike reports are collected and stored in the FAA's wildlife strike database. The FAA and United States Department of Agriculture work hand in hand, researching, innovative techniques, to reduce wildlife hazards. Research funding allows the FAA and strategic partners to conduct studies about how land is used around airports or the effect of lighting on wildlife. As long as birds and humans are flying, there will be collisions, so FAA researchers will work to improve aviation safety by reducing the risks of wildlife interactions, both on the ground and in the air. For innovation now, I'm Jennifer pulling. Innovation now is produced by the National Institute of aerospace. Through collaboration with NASA.

Now it's Ben's rice, and if you look at Ben, he looks like Barack Obama. Then I thought I had a dream the other night because Barack Obama was hosting a TV show about nature about going to different parks across the world and looking at nature and wildlife and it wasn't a dream. There's a show coming out on Netflix that he produced his banner produced where he's the host like David Attenborough talking about sloths and wildebeest and frogs and I thought, what the hell is going on? What is the present president doing hosting a TV show like this? So weird and now I'm looking at uncle Ben and I go, they made uncle Ben look like Obama. They did because most people out there are liberal and they feel most comfortable eating rice with a box that looks like Obama. It's simple. I've said this before. When Obama was president, you began to see news anchors Talking Heads, political pundits who began to look like him. Don lemon is an example. Short crop black hair, light skin black guys, well mattered, you know, good speaking smart black men. He became, he became the model of people that they put on TV. I don't care what you tell me. It's true.

"To go away as well. What caused the alad to disappear from the Hawaiian Islands? That's something I was curious about when I first went over there to see our conservation center and see what was going on. And unfortunately, it's sort of the perfect combination of several things. And I hate to use the word perfect because I usually mean something good. But in this case, it was just several things kind of lined up that caused the collapse of the population. So it was a combination of the lost the native habitat. A lot of areas were cleared for logging and for just honestly for human use for pastures and for farming. And then you couple that with invasive species being introduced to the region, so rats were never there before. Domestic cats, which also then roamed the area. And then here's an interesting one they brought in some mongoose to try and control other populations of what they considered pest animals. But the mongoose ended up also being a problem for many, many bird species 'cause the mangos love their eggs. So when all of this kind of gets added together, it just kind of became that perfect storm for the collapse of the population. So Rick, what would you say to someone questioning the ongoing conservation efforts, people who believe that natural selection should determine if a species continues natural selection being the process that a species or organism that's better adapted to in their environment is therefore more likely to survive and pass on their genes. Yeah, and I'm glad you brought this up ebony because this is something that we do get questioned on when it comes to a lot of our conservation efforts. And so I think if natural selection was the cause of the population decline, then yes, that is something we should discuss and really look at. But as we mentioned, in the case of the ala law, as with many species, the problems they face are human made. And so we really have to pay attention to what we're doing and what we can do to fix what has been broken. And the good news is, because this is a human made problem, well, the solutions kind of rest on our shoulders. We can figure this out. And we can create these solutions as well. So what all is being done to restore the alala population. Well, quite a bit. Like I said, I had the opportunity to go over there a few years back and it's really impressive. But to give sort of a backstory since 1996, the San Diego do wildlife alliance has been breeding these critically endangered ala at the bird conservation center in Hawaii, and our team monitors breeding activity using remote cameras. We remove eggs from nests so we can artificially incubate them and hand rearing the nestlings. And this is important. Some people are like, well, wait, why are you removing eggs from the nest? See, artificial incubation in hand rearing often results in a greater hatching and fledgling success. Meaning we have a greater success than seeing these little eggs and chicks become adults. And this is partially because some females don't incubate their eggs or feed their nestlings properly, the first time a lot of first time moms in the wild just don't take to parenting very well. And so you lose that opportunity of that generation. Oh, and the other thing, removal of eggs for artificial incubation is really important too, because many times this will trigger the female bird to lay a second clutch, meaning a second set of eggs. So in one breeding season, potential you can double the amount of eggs that are laid by doing this process. So it's actually very important. And of course, all of this work is pretty intense, you know, they do a lot to really manage the results that we're getting to increase that population and now, since this started, I think there was roughly if I remember correctly about 20 birds in the late 1990s to today we're about a 110 or so, which is really impressive. And we'll talk more about the San Diego zoo wildlife alliance led efforts to reintroduce the ala to the Hawaiian Islands right after this. Now it's time for the San Diego zoo minute, an opportunity for you to learn what's new at the zoo. The San Diego zoo has one of the largest colonies of Galapagos tortoises in the world. We've had these giants in our cars since 1928, and one of the tortoises, grandma, just celebrated her 100th and 37th birthday. And hey, did you know that all tortoises lack teeth? So when grandma ate watermelon on her birthday to celebrate, she used the bony outer edges of her mouth to bite it off and mash it. Today we're learning about the ala la also known as the Hawaiian pro. Unfortunately, they've been listed on IUCN's red list as extinct in the wild since 2002. San Diego zo wildlife alliance is working with partners, including U.S. fish and wildlife service, National Park Service, and the Hawaii department of land and natural resources, division of forestry and wildlife. To reestablish the ala la population in their native habitats. Let's welcome San Diego zoo wildlife alliance president and chief executive officer, Paul baraba. Hi, Paul. Hello, have a great to see again. So Paul, how did we get here? Why did the alala disappear from the Hawaiian Islands? Well, it's really a fascinating story. If you look over the years, non native cats, dogs, rats, and mongooses have been introduced to the Hawaiian Islands, and like many native birds, the Allah did successfully adapt to avoid these invasive species. Additionally, some of these species such as cats actually introduced new diseases, and these threats only intensified as a forest habitats grew more fragmented, or were destroyed due to various factors. So, can you talk more about what's being done now? What's the work going into saving these Hawaiian gross? Well, since 1996, we have bred the critically endangered Allah at the kehoe and Maui bird conservation centers. And the importance of the work has intensified as the number of Allah in the wild continued to plummet. So tell us more details about the work that goes into saving the Lala. Well, there's a lot that goes into it ebony. Our approach starts with monitoring the analog breeding activity using remote cameras. This is in preparation for releasing birds that will one day reproduce in the wild. We are encouraging parent birds to raise their chicks completely on their own, so they can be more successful, independent parents in the future. So how is it going overall what's been the outcome of the program? Well, our efforts have increased the population from fewer than 20 birds in the late 1990s to over a 110 birds today. And we've proven we can successfully recover birds in our past. If we look at the success we've had with the California condor. So that's amazing to go from 20 to more than 100 birds today. What are the next steps? Well, all successful conservation work requires partnerships. And that is certainly no different here. We are collaborating, as you mentioned earlier with the division of forestry and wildlife with the Hawaii department of land and natural resources to release the allot back into their native habitats. But our challenge continues to be providing the Allah with the skills they need to thrive and breed successfully after reintroduction. This work includes gathering data to improve the crow survival rates after release. So the birds almost need to be taught how to survive in nature. Can you describe some of the necessary skills? Absolutely. We've learned the releasing juvenile birds in social groups and providing them with supplemental food results in higher survival rates for the first year after release. We are also working.

Release very exciting and it looks like it's going to be extremely beautiful and plans are afoot for the world's longest wildlife bridge that would cross between iowa and illinois. Currently a fifty five year-old concrete bridge is getting retired in the idea of turning it into a wildlife bridge is now in active consideration by iowa and illinois departments of transportation it would be particularly beneficial for the american bison. A another planned bridge is out in los angeles california in liberty canyon. A cougar bridge. There are so few cougars living out in the wild and their populations of become really isolated. So they are not interbreeding and diversifying genetically so this future bridge would give the opportunity to connect different populations and improve their breeding and stop them from becoming roadkill while. I was looking around two bridges. That really stuck out to me. Were the christmas island crab bridge. Which if you've got a second you should definitely look up. 'cause it's great as well as turtled tunnels that go underneath a japanese train track which are also extremely cute and finally a bridge that at this point is just a concept. It's called the butterfly effect. And it's a bridge more like a series of nets that would cover a dutch highway and allow for butterflies and other insects to safely travel over the highway by keeping them above the traffic. So broadly speaking. Today's good news is that there are people who are very actively trying to find ways for humans and animals to coexist even though we've got these big ugly highways all across our planet. There are plenty of people who are working to make sure that animals can get over them or under them. That's good news. I've got for you today. Enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks for listening..

"Somebody had hoarded cats so there's cats glor- and obviously can maybe we could be cat people if it would avoid this problem right but i think what happened is that we'd never seen one in the house before and the next day our new neighbor said. Oh yeah we had mice in the adequate fumigate. So i think a little refugee came over somehow ran into our and then was just way more scared than we were all. I don't like this running. Super-busy finally my husband put down a plastic shopping bag and it ran into the bag and we just like carry outside and set it free where we were. We doing this podcast at the time when our house had backs. Yeah yeah wings. yeah that was. How did you ever get rid of them. Oh we had to have a bat person. Common seal up the addict basically like they were they were in the attic and they were somehow getting out of the attic And getting downstairs and so what they do is they come. And they like seal up They put like basically a one way exit on the attic. So that when the vats go out to find their snacks than they can't get back in Okay because you're not allowed to kill them and also we had to wait until like the baby. Bats were big enough to go out on their own like we had to harbor the whole bat family until such time as the babies could live on their own because bats are good. And you don't wanna kill k. Rent no we had to pay to evict them so we have this bunny who lives. I think there's a bunny family living under our front steps and periodically. We see the the big bunny kind of standing around and we refer to it as our landlord. We should drop some rent as we walk into our house right. The super is here a carrot and she tolerates us funny yeah. I feel like past stressful in the past year. Like during the covid year. There's been more rabbits like. I don't know if because like last spring there was less traffic on the road. Or yes or what happened but especially last spring and summer. They were just like everywhere. They had been emboldened. so an. how about cicadas. Did you ever get them. What's happening there i. We have not seen a single sucato. I understand there are some in new jersey. They are part of new jersey. And that's probably the best. New jersey is unusual. I think it's not that big estate but there are some parts that are really intensely populated and then there's some parts that are just very very much not and i think that's the parts that the cicadas hang out in you know they like a bunch of trees all in the same place and they're not going to find that where i live so Yes so now. I'm seen but i've heard that there's been places in new jersey that Overrun so excited critters. I've had to deal with in. He haven't been that. Just been squirrels and rabbits in one house. I'll trade you one of those who tries to not squish the insect but escorted outside. Especially if it's an insect that obviously got in accidentally like went through the wrong crevice and suddenly wound up inside a house as opposed to aunts. Who that's war doing so they're down flies possibly also but alone creepy crawly. I might try to loosely. Cover with kleenex and toss outside. Gen scored to the door and then because i watched too many disney movies. I'm like poke will be able to find its family.

"Welcome to around three of the parenting roundabout podcasts. For the week of june twenty. First i'm katherine. Who lecco an immured terry moyo. Hello and nicole. Eric's are there were moms of teens and young adults and when it comes to parenting we've been there done. That bought the t shirt. But we're still waiting for that day. When will reach the finish line and have no further need to lay down a dark room with a wet rag over is worrying about something or other wednesdays complaint day here on parenting roundabout today. We're complaining about wildlife invading. Our space nicole has has a cautionary tale or scary story cautionary traumatic it. What you want but it was a nightmare would happened. Well here i was so okay so my hosts has been like slowly falling apart for the last year because we've been living in it consistently and using it and every day. Something's been happening like today. My garbage can got stolen like not that. That means that my house is falling apart. But it's just like really one more thing right like you. My air con- went anyway. So the other thing that we're dealing with because we live in southern california so for those of you that think. It's all like fun and cheery happy and cool and whatever. It's actually not because there's a lot of bugs here a lot of like scorpions and snakes and tarantulas anyway. So that's the prelude to my story but so here. I am in my office offices. We all do. And i'm sitting there and like you know how your hair falls out and you'd like to pick it off your shirt right so so yeah so i just sitting here minding my own business a couple of days ago and i fell a hair my arm and i leaned over. Are you know. I reached over to take it off. Fuck it off and it was a gargantuan spider. Adwan is right and it was larger than the size of a quarter you dick. Oh my gosh. Yes and so. I immediately reacted yet right and i brushed it off.

"Okay. Back to work fielding about fieldwork. First time question asker. Joanna mchugh good question. How many times have you gotten stuck in plus mud. And i don't know what plus mud is. But i want to ask you. Is that a term is it fluffy mud basically it's like very loose mud young That's a good question. I honestly don't know how many times because after a while it's like your brain is almost on autopilot and you don't even notice when you have fallen But like it's it's situation where you fall in right and i feel almost betrayed by the marshes out here sweating behind off right like and you gotta do this to me eventually. Don't even notice the army crawl out of it so you all in up to your waist and then basically lean over and pull yourself out using grass and other things around you. Yeah many many times it built characters would all say oh. Do you have to do specific exercises to like build up the muscles that pull you out of. Yes even just walk. Because the way that i describe walking in the marshes like walking upstairs for six hours And so i went out there without having trained at all. And i was out there for an hour and thirteen minutes alley. And i can't do this. I can't do it and so that was just like when i first got there and elizabeth was like you might have to do some training. That's what i do. So that's what i did. I literally started on the treadmill. It's not a thing that i tread mill. The stair stepper is all that My hip flexes right. Because you gotta you gotta work out and it was interesting because there was a period of time like after my last field season was over where i had to go out and just check on something. And they're probably been about three weeks to a month between then. And the last time i was in the marist when i tell you i was seeing stars within minutes of being out there. I was like oh see. Yeah like the mar- you cannot let the marsh leave your blood and if you're listening to this and thinking i love biology. I love wildlife but my body can't do that what about disability access for scientists so did some research and here that consulting firms need project managers to track and plan field work. There was also something called. Gs a geographic information system that acts as a framework for gathering and managing and analyzing data. And we have a really cool episode coming up with a scientist named emily ackerman who is a systems biologist. So stay tuned for that very soon. Naomi is a new question. Asker it was. What's the strangest thing that you found in the marsh. Have you ever found anyone's car keys or like a very treasure. I wish i found so. There are multiple highs. Where i was like. Is that a body. And then it wasn't just thing that are probably found not interesting stuff but just like large things like how did water carry this. Water can carry basically anything like huge cement blocks and pipes in this things that seemed like should've sank immediately upon entering the water. The water this brought right to the marsh. So that's why you want to take care of your water said a watershed is essentially the pathways leading to the ocean or big bodies of water. And i always get the word watershed mixed up with watership down which was a nineteen seventy two novel about some psychic rabbits which in writing this aside i learned was a worry that the author made up on long car rides until his daughters forced him to write it all up in an awful and it was rejected by seven publishers before going on to sell over fifty million copies. So this aside is your weird creepy. Signed just go work on that thing that you want to work on just creeping in your brain go to word to the wise for sure page. Mclaughlin wants to know what sets sparrow from other birds as in what makes spero spero and not a fincher swift or iran. In this case. Yeah so there are a lot of things physically morphological about a spare. That's different from any other songbird Some of the differences are in diet so sparrows are known for eating a lot of plant material. Bill both depending on the time of the year. But they do. They're really good eating a lot of plant material seeds things like that Suicides are different because they have a really heavily like invertebrate diet being in the marsh. Okay so remember. The salty flooding marsh is hard. Live in man in some cases. But there's less competition for bug lunches for these small will brown and cream colored seaside sparrows. They also physically look a little different. They have a big shape. It's a little different from say. Thin shorus a swift which is like a strictly insect eating bird and so a lot of the physical characteristics of a barrel versus any other bird. are about how it finds food a lot of the adaptations that birds have physically are about finding food. Yes will mike kamensky wants to ask why are they so dang and cute and also does the small strip of yellow near their beaks or evolutionary purpose so they they are definitely slept on. I think a lot of people think of seaside sparrows. It looks like every other what i would imagine to be. Small birds sparrow bird but that yellow band apps that little yellow block right above. Its i definitely pops. I don't know that it has any evolutionary purpose that we are aware of right. It's such a small feature. I imagine that there is some amount selection that that obviously made it stay males. I think have a more prominent yellow spot on their face and yeah outside of that. I am not aware of it serving any particular evolutionary purpose. Perhaps one day you'll be the first to publish a paper on it. And what is illustrative about so this yellow patch. If you're trying to imagine it looks like if a brownish bird to a fabulous mustard colored eyebrows just little pop of color. it's technically called a supercilious. Which is another word for eyebrow the origin of the word supercilious which means halt he. Also if anyone is professional eyebrow scientist or groomer. Please call yourself a supercilious and looked up on google scholar for minute trying to find the function of this mustard supercilious. When i learned that insights barrows is actually called a supra laurel. Because it doesn't extend past the i but honestly i'm still excited to talk to an eyebrow expert maybe just privately went on matt thompson had a great question. He is a student studying wildlife ecology and wanted to know if there are any interesting symbiotic relationships with sparrows and other birds in the marshlands any of them friends aleksei friendship. I don't like to say this is the first one i'm saying. Friendships don't really happen in. The mars like mutually assured destruction. Make friends i.

"Wildlife. Wonderful places. A few of them do require a small fee to enter on quite familiar with the black water while National wildlife refuge on the eastern shore of Maryland and and some of those cases you can show your duck stamp in lieu of entry. I would offer that we would be better to serving conservation if we required everyone who came into a national wildlife refuge for whatever purpose to perfect purchase the dust samples. It's not a lot of money, $25. I would even go so far that it could be one per car if that if it got down to that, But, you know, let's expand the sense of people who want to buy the duck stamp. Let's not alienate those who who forever for whatever reason. They do not support hunting. Will you bring up a point which I've been aware of Many national wildlife refuges permit deer hunting may not permit third running if they were created for waterfowl. They may not be a refuge, but they permit deer hunting. They permit turkey hunting, squirrel hunting, quail hunting all kinds of honey. Absolutely. And yet, the people who actually go hunt there don't have to buy a duck stamp because they're not coming. Much less. And her big kind of kind of ridiculous, isn't it? Charlie? E mean, you know what would it be nice if if it were a national program that everybody to get behind it And to be quite honest with you people should get behind it if they like conservation because you know why life refuges they support far more than just wild child. Support the bird. She's seeing your backyard. They you know the ones that have wetlands do a lot for clean water for measured in sequestration. These are the good things. We need more people to support him. The death stamp. You know, you and I spend a lot of time looking at programs and shaking our heads over a lack of economic Program efficiency business One where I can't find it. This is a good program. Well, Kerry, I thank you for enlightening us on this. It's It's certainly gonna be front and center for the new secretary of interior in the head official while infected Fish and Wildlife Service because they got a lawsuit on their plate, all of a sudden, and the best way to get rid of the lawsuit. Just like a natural way. We were doing business, you know, in the last year left, let's Let's be clear. If entrance wants to put Ah hunting scene in a text them he has she made Consists of the requirements that that's wrangling, people and, you know, let's go. Possibly the most famous. That stamp of all is the only one that has a dog holding a dead duck in its mouth. Its king Buck the 1954 steps span by mainland Greece, possibly the most famous of them all, and it is probably the most blatantly hunting. Duck stamp ever. So when I think that has a dead duck minutes, the dog has a dead documents. Mouth, Carrie. We can save money on lawyers.
