Dispatches from the Forest

Episode 63: Wolverines!

Today I'm talking about more mustelids!  You've probably heard of a wolverine - whether it's the superhero or the University of Michigan mascot - but what do you really know about wolverines?  Probably not much (I know I didn't!) so join me to learn more about the mighty wolverine and his little cousin the fisher.

Episode 61: Timberdoodles

Timberdoodle, Labrador Twister, Bogsucker, Hokumpoke and Fiddle Squeak are just a few of the nicknames for a gamebird whose real name is the American Woodcock.  They aren't flashy, but Monty Python's Ministry of Silly Walks would be proud.  Learn more on this episode!

Episode 60: Loony Tunes

Common loons are anything but common - unless you count their drab winter plumage, but HEY - who among us DOESN'T look a bit drab in the winter?  Discounting their winter look, they are amazing birds - divers who carry their chicks on their backs and whose calls are among my list of "Top 10 sounds of Wilderness".  Learn all about the common loon on this episode of the Dispatches from the Forest Podcast!

Episode 56: Lake Superior and Da U.P.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is one of my favorite places - and someday will be the permanent home of Dispatches from the Forest World Headquarters.  Learn more about this region that was once described as a "sterile region on the shores of Lake Superior destined by soil and climate to remain forever a wilderness."
(Please note: this episode was recorded outside so enjoy the background commentary of my local bluejays!)
