The Hows and Whys Of Loon Fallout with Marge Gibson
BIRD HUGGER - Een podcast door Catherine Greenleaf - Donderdagen
On today's show, we speak with Marge Gibson, founder and executive director of Raptor Education Group Inc. (REGI) in Antigo, Wisconsin, a rescue and rehabilitation facility that treats over 1,000 injured wild birds each year. We will talk about the recent loon fallout in Wisconsin, in which dozens of loons dropped out of the sky when an ice event caused their wings to freeze. Is this event some type of anomaly or is it a common phenomenon? Could this type of event be worsening due to climate change? We hear Marge talk about her research into the possible reasons why it's occurring. Go to Raptor Education Group, Inc. at: https://www.raptoreducationgroup.org/.
