Red squirrels might be small, but they don't hesitate to take on heavyweights like grey squirrels or much larger pileated woodpeckers. This week, co-hosts Heidi Holtan (Director of public affairs, birthday-haver ) and Charlie Mitchell (Phenology coordinator, birthday-celebrator) get inspired by these cranky critters.
In addition, we hear from Mike North, a woodpecker expert, and our partnering student phenologists at Little Falls Middle School.
