This episode is a little shorter than normal since it was a busy week here at Dispatches HQ, but I want to introduce you to two birds who could win awards with their acting abilities: the Killdeer and the American Avocet. And it just so happens that I've seen both recently! Tune in to find out more about how these bold little birds employ their inner thespian to protect their nests!

Episode 75: Cicadas Revisted
Wednesday May 29, 2024
Wednesday May 29, 2024
This year we're witnessing an event that hasn't happened since 1803 - when Thomas Jefferson was president. The dual emergence of a 13 year species of cicada and a 17 year species of cicada. So in honor of that we're revisiting cicadas - and learning some cool new things about them! We're also revisiting cicada killer wasps and cicada zombie butt fungus!

We hear a lot about air pollution and water pollution, but what about light pollution? I mean, it's not real pollution right? It's just an inconvenience for stargazers. Actually light pollution can have some very real impacts on plants, insects, animals, human health and even water quality. Learn more about why the night should be dark on this episode of the Dispatches from the Forest Podcast!
