BirdNote, a 2 minute bird-focused radio show, featured American Prairie Reserve this week with a new piece entitled “Ecosystem Engineers on America’s Serengeti.” Listen for the sounds of common – and not so common – prairie creatures, including American bison, the burrowing owl, Chestnut-collared Longspur and black-tailed prairie dog. Can you think of more species that could be considered ecosystem engineers?
While you’re there, listen to clips on other feathered inhabitants of the prairie: Northern Goshawk, Montana Grassland Birds, Shorebirds – Not on the Shore, Tracking Burrowing Owls, and Sage-Grouse Lek and Grasslands.
