My longtime partners and collaborators at The Nature Conservancy recently launched a great podcast series called On the Move, hosted by TNC storyteller Leah Palmer. It’s all about wild animals, their migrations, and the people working to keep those journeys wild and free. If you’re a longtime Mountain & Prairie listener, then many of these people, places, and conservation issues will be familiar to you. In fact, a few of the experts you’ll hear over the course of the full series are past M&P guests, including Sammy Matsaw Jr., Kelsey Molloy, and Nancy Fishbein.
So I’m excited to share one of my favorite episodes today: Episode 4, “Distance Champions.” This episode is about creatures of the sky—Sandhill cranes, Greater Sage-Grouse, Wilson’s phalaropes—and it digs into why these birds migrate, how new tracking tech reveals where they actually go, and what stands in their way. You’ll also hear from Ted Floyd of the American Birding Association, a good friend of TNC here in Colorado.
Big thanks to The Nature Conservancy for creating such an interesting and engaging podcast series. If you enjoy it, go subscribe to On the Move and listen to the whole series.
