BirdNote DailyVoices and Vocabularies - Songs Long and ShortWhen a Sage Thrasher, perched on a clump of sagebrush, tips its head back to sing, the notes rush forth. They often sing non-stop for at least two minutes. In stark comparison, the song of this Brewer’s Blackbird lasts barely a second. And the Henslow’s Sparrow values brevity even more. But whether they’re long and drawn out or short and sweet, bird songs are all about the same things: territory and breeding. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Today I will be discussing the early life, academia, and internal turmoil of English naturalist Charles Darwin, who is notable for his scientific theory of evolution by natural selection.

But how did he come up with this idea? The impacts of his theory are...

Bird Sh*t Podcast25: Shake Yo' Grass(land bird) - Interview with Alyssa DeRubeis, Grassland Birds BiologistGrassland bird populations are declining more than any other bird group in North America. Rather than spaz out—our normal reaction to bad bird news—we had a conversation with Alyssa DeRubeis and felt a lot better about the work being done for grassland birds. Spoiler: there’s still hope for restored habitats. Alyssa grew up in Minnesota and started birding when she was five years old. After obtaining her Bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Ecology, she earned her Master’s degree studying nesting and non-breeding birds in remnant and restored tallgrass prairies at the University of Arkansas.

Spirit World UniverseHoax of Human Evolution (ft. Charles Darwin, Darwin Sr, J.S Henslow)Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor: the birds and the apes, the fishes and the plants -- all related. Darwin's general theory presumes the development of life from non-life and stresses a purely naturalistic (undirected) "descent with modification". That is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time. But is there evidence to contradict this ideology? And if so, does it expose a worldwide hoax greater than what we could ever imagine? Has Darwin's Theory of Evolution finally been debunked?
