Project Upland Podcast
Project Upland presents the Project Upland Podcast, a cinematic and science-based production that delivers on the independent storytelling you have come to love.
Cohosts AJ DeRosa and Gabby Zaldumbide learn from researchers, biologists, and subject matter experts about birds, nature, conservation, dogs, and more. This podcast is a glimpse into the minds of the curious, obsessive, and hard-working folks who work at Project Upland and an exploration of all the things we find that we can't always include in print.
Join us as we travel into the deepest, most obscure, and nerdiest realms of the uplands. After all, these are your stories.

In Texas and Arizona, white-winged doves are culturally significant and a part of each state’s hunting heritage. Biologists are actively studying these unique migratory birds; in fact, the first research project to ever outfit white-winged doves with GPS transmitters is currently underway in Texas.
In this episode, AJ and Gabby talk to Owen Fitzsimmons, the webless migratory game bird program leader for Texas Parks and Wildlife. Owen, alongside Dr. Jennifer Smith of the Caesar Kleburg Wildlife Research Institute at Texas A&M University Kingsville, to learn more about the urban ecology, behaviors, and life history of white wings.
Tune in to learn how white-winged doves are expanding their range, interacting with mourning doves, and defining what it means for wildlife to thrive alongside people.
