[S1E21] Chasing the Summer

from The Best Biome

A raptor like no other crosses 20,000km across hemispheres every year, chasing summer and bugs and grasslands through the Americas. The Swainson's Hawk is a spectacle, and we're grateful to have them fighting on our side in the looming grasshopper apocalypse. Thanks for listening to our weekly exploration of why grasslands are the best biome. We'll see you next time! Primary Sources: Bechard, M. J., C. S. Houston, J. H. Sarasola, and A. S. England (2020).
