Birding With Batt 01-27-26
Q: Do fish have eyelids?
Yes, some fish have protective membranes or nictitating structures, but many do not have movable eyelids like birds or mammals; the discussion expanded to how eye protection varies across aquatic life.

Q: How do pigeons historically contribute to communication or warfare, and what makes them special to the host?
Pigeons served as early messenger birds, carrying notes from front lines to headquarters during wars; their navigation abilities, using sun position and the Earth's magnetic field, made them invaluable messengers.
Al Batt - Live in the KMSU Studio with Karen Wright 11-26-2025
Q: What is causing red-bellied woodpeckers to expand northward and westward into Minnesota?
Warmer winters due to climate change are allowing more individuals to survive and breed in areas previously too cold, expanding their range across Minnesota and neighboring regions.

Q: Do chipmunks hibernate, and how do they cope with winter?
Chipmunks generally do not hibernate in the classic sense; they enter torpor with fat storage, create underground pantries and resting areas, and occasionally emerge for food before returning to their burrows.

Q: What should we do with real Christmas trees for wildlife after the holidays?
Use brush piles and trees as shelter; real trees can provide nesting and roosting sites for wildlife during winter.
