113: Kirtland’s Warbler Explained: The Rare Bird That Came Back From the Brink
from Birds of a Feather Talk Together · host John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, Amanda Marquart
This week we’re revisiting one of our older episodes all about the Kirtland’s warbler. If you caught our interview with Peter Kaestner (episode 98), you might remember that he almost went birding on the morning of his wedding just to see this bird—so if Peter was that excited, you know it’s going to be a good one. The Kirtland’s warbler has a fascinating story, from populations threatened by the brown-headed cowbird—which we talked about last week—to an unexpected connection with the infamous murderers Leopold and Loeb. So whether you’re here for the bird facts or a little true-crime twist, you’re in for a treat.Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow:YouTube InstagramTikTokBlueSky
