The American Birding Podcast

09-16: Birds, Wildfires, and Smoke with Olivia Sanderfoot


Listen Later

A warmer and drier world means, unfortunately, a world in which wildfire becomes a greater risk. We know, all too well, the risk these fires pose to wild places, but there is surprisingly little we know about the risk to wildlife. That is the work of Dr. Olivia Sanderfoot, a researcher at UCLA looking at the impacts of wildfire smoke on wild birds and trying to answer a few of those increasingly relevant questions.

Also, Nate is out of town and hoping to see Mississippi Kites.
