About this listen

Join us as we explore the fascinating world of bird migration, where snow geese make an astonishing journey from James Bay, Canada, to the Louisiana Gulf coast in just 60 hours, covering over 1,700 miles at an average speed of 28 miles per hour. This captivating podcast dives into the wealth of knowledge presented in a 1998 circular from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, featuring insightful chapters on flight speeds, migration routes, and innovative research techniques. The closing chapter, Future Directions, poignantly reflects on how migratory pathways have evolved over millennia, yet face unprecedented challenges due to human impact on the environment. Join Sue Anderson in uncovering the delicate balance of nature and the urgent need for conservation.
