Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S7 E14: A Gratitude Approach. A conversation with Aidan Rominger.
Q: What is your view on traditional lawn care?
Rominger favors native habitat over conventional lawns, while acknowledging the difficulty of invasive-plant management and the need to prioritize restoration projects according to habitat benefits and available budgets.
S7 E14: A Gratitude Approach. A conversation with Aidan Rominger.
Q: Why do you love birds so much? Really, how did that evolve and develop for you in your life?
Rominger says his interest began around age four when he found the Sibley Guide to Birds at his grandparents' house. He began watching and listing birds in his backyard as a child, then pursued birding more seriously as a teenager.
S7 E13: Great Smoky Adventures. A conversation with Tina Penny.
Q: Talk about those and about the salamanders there and the Smokies.
Penny says the park has 31 salamander species, and she found 17. She describes nighttime searches, teaching hikers to observe salamanders without touching them, and taking part in a Hellbender survey. She notes that recreation and storm damage have affected Hellbender habitat and populations.
S7 E13: Great Smoky Adventures. A conversation with Tina Penny.
Q: So explain the work that's being done and again, how you helped with that.
Penny describes trapping bears that have become accustomed to human food, then tagging and measuring them, collecting samples, and recording their condition for research. Relocation is generally within the park, and the work also helps identify bears involved in incidents.
S7 E11: It Was a Fast Spiral. A conversation with Jessie Sauder.
Q: How did that evolve? Did you just decide last year, I'm going to hit hard next year? And how did that evolve? You decided to spend so much time traveling in the US this year?
After recording more than 300 species the previous year despite health problems and limited travel, Sauder set a goal of 500 U.S. species for the year. Planned trips to Texas and Alaska, along with additional invitations, made the goal attainable.
