Northern Wings - A Podcast of the Northern Arizona Audubon Society
This podcast is intended to advance the mission of the Northern Arizona Audubon Society (NAAS) by engaging people in appreciating and protecting birds and the places they need, with a focus on northern Arizona. We’ll discuss the joys of birding in the region and how NAAS interacts with individuals, communities, and organizations to provide opportunities to improve field skills and knowledge about birds and nature, to strengthen the collection of science-based data about birds, and to conserve the places birds and other wildlife rely on, especially sanctuaries and important bird areas.

Paul Dougherty: A Discussion of his Research in Northern Arizona
In this episode, I chat with Paul Dougherty, Ph.D., about the research he is conducting that brought him to northern Arizona to collect data. Dr. Dougherty is a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. One of his primary interests is molting behavior, a chronically understudied aspect of avian biology that can render bird populations vulnerable to climate change. Listen to this episode to learn more about his interesting research and academic journey.
This episode includes a new Name That Song segment (birdsong, that is). We are grateful to Rich Hoyer and the Macaulay Library, part of Cornell Lab of Ornithology at Cornell University, for the use of the audio clip.
