Raise your hand if you'd like to spend the summer in a hammock by the lake.
All of you? Well of course!
This week, co-hosts Heidi Holtan (director of content and public affairs, aspiring hammock-dweller) and Charlie Mitchell (phenology coordinator, bird spy) talk about the impressive nesting creations of orioles, the creative forage habits of Yellow-rumped Warblers (butter butts), and how to best avoid blackflies.
We hear from East Rapids Elementary, John from North Carolina, wildlife biologist Pam Perry and our favorite nature nerd, John Latimer.
