Host Dave Schlom has a most enjoyable visit with kindred spirit Sy Montgomery. A naturalist, adventurer, and accomplished author, Montgomery begins by discussing her deep dive (which for the falcon above would be called a stoop) into falconry in her latest book, The Hawks Way.

Blue Dot: Hawks and octopuses! A conversation naturalist/writer Sy Montgomery

Blue Dot, named after Carl Sagan's famous speech about our place in the universe, features interviews with guests from all over the regional, national and worldwide scientific communities. Host Dave Schlom leads discussions about the issues science is helping us address with experts who shed light on climate change, space exploration, astronomy, technology and much more. Dave asks us to remember: from deep space, we all live on a pale, blue dot.
