43. Seeing Stars, and Tracking Animals, with Jon Poppele

Today we return to the Dogwatch after a few weeks off during August, and we have an episode recorded this spring with Jon Poppelle, an author and naturalist. This conversation was delayed due to an issue with the audio file, and I’ve gotten that resolved and we are now good to go. My apologies to Jon for the delay!If you like to be outside, there are features of the natural world that are always there with you. In the night sky, there are always stars. On the ground, there are always tracks and signs of the activities of animals. Our guest today is an expert naturalist who has refined his ability in helping others learn about these features of the natural world. Jon Poppele, is author of Night Sky: A Field Guide to the Constellations, and a series of books on animal tracks, including Animals Tracks of the Midwest.At long last, it is so good to be able to look to the signs that are imprinted in the heavens and the Earth with Jon Poppele.
