Dispatches from the Forest

Dirt Dispatch #40

I'm not social media savvy, but a video I posted on TikTok and Instagram of a pair of owls being mobbed by crows got really popular!  Yay!  On this Dirt Dispatch I'll address some of the questions and misconceptions that came up in the comments of this and another of my videos.

Episode 110: Where There's a Will...A Whip-poor-will

It's finally "spooky season"!  So let's talk about things that lurk in the dark.  Because we humans are not afraid of the dark, per se, but of the things IN the dark, the things the darkness is concealing. Whippoorwills are one of those things.  And like other things that we hear calling in the dark of night, they’re the subject of many a legend.  Lean more about these legendary birds in this episode!
