11 August 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 45 minutesEP: 467 | The Mystery of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker
On this episode we’re joined by two renowned birding enthusiasts to tell the story and help unwrap the mystery of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker (Campephilus principalis). Chuck Hunter is retired from the USFWS and spent his career working on endangered and threatened, at-risk, and other species of conservation concern throughout the Southeast Region. Bobby Harrison, a noted birding expert has quite a history with the Ivory-billed. He frequently goes on searching expeditions, has reported several sightings and tells us about an encounter. The Ivory-billed Woodpecker is a complicated story, wrought with equal doses of doubt and hope, but it’s one worth hearing. Who knows, maybe someone has seen one while hunting and this podcast will help the scientists. We can hope.

7 August 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 45 minutesEP: 466 | The Story of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker
On this episode we’re joined by two experts, John Doresky and Will McDearman, to explain the story of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker. John is the current USFWS Recovery Coordinator and Will, now retired, was the previous coordinator. Both men have spent most of their careers studying these birds and have interesting information to share. The RCW is a small woodpecker that used to be abundant in the longleaf pine ecosystems, but has had challenges as most of their habitat has changed. The story of how man-made cavities have helped save the birds is a really good one. You’ll never look at woodpeckers the same after listening. It’s interesting how when we manage for quail and turkeys it benefits these endangered birds.
