The Toklat Wolves Revisited / In-Depth with Dr. Gordon Haber - Independent Research Biologist
An update on the Toklat Wolves from one of the world's leading wolf experts who has spent 41 years in the fields, mountains and skies tracking the movements, behaviors, families and fate of one of the longest continuously studied wild animal families. In segment one, Dr. Haber discusses the unique character of the wolf which has allowed it to adapt to the natural changes that wild creatures must endure.
Dr. Haber now focuses in on the fate of the Toklat Wolves which have been brought to the edge by senseless policies endorsed by Alaskan State Authorities. A wholesale open season on wolves is underway in much of Alaska. Dr. Haber informs us what is happening and what needs to be done.

"The Singing Life of Birds" An interview with world-renowned birdsong expert Donald Kroodsma
Ever wanted to learn how to listen to birds? Well, Dr. Donald Kroodsma gives you a whole new way of looking at the art of listening to birdcalls.
WE go in-depth to discover how the reality of bird life and communication can help you better learn how to become familiar with the calls and songs of the birds in your life.
His approach is a bit different than some may suggest. But the benefits will be well worth taking the time to practice these habits of listening and seeing.
The sonogram. It may seem a bit intimidating at first, but once you understand how to look at these "birdcalls" they are an invaluable tool in making sense of the many bird calls. Remember, some birds have over 2,000 individual songs.
Dear Friends,
It's been a frightening three days trying to be perpetually aware of the progress of the San Diego fires. I had to pull my studio gear, computers and the rest of what is most precious to me into a truck and be prepared to run.
Thank God, we were spared, and all is well, for us. However, I am just now putting things back in order.
I will be broadcasting again on Monday, October 29th and hope to tell a bit of the story of this massive firestorm.

As promised, albeit a day late, here is my story of the San Diego fires
