What owl is the size of a pop can and weighs as much as two AA batteries? Minnesota's tiny Northern Saw-whet Owls! Possibly the cutest of all the owls.
Co-hosts Heidi Holtan (director of public affairs, former roller derby champ) and Charlie Mitchell (phenology coordinator, self-avowed weirdo) discuss how to pronounce "coyote," delight in dragon's teeth, and ponder whether or not it's creepy to stare at Bald Eagles' nests.
In addition, we hear from Grand Rapids area students visiting Long Lake Conservation Center.
