Whip-poor-wills, swallows and other birds that feed on flying insects are rapidly disappearing throughout the northeast. The same is true of too many other animals and plants, says Maine Audubon board member and Bowdoin professor Nat Wheelwright. Once you pay attention to nature and come to care about it, you can hear the loss of species in the deep heart’s core. It sounds like this.
Nature Moments are produced by Nat Wheelwright and Wilder Nicholson, with help from Genie Wheelwright, Paul Benham, Tom Porter, and Rebecca Goldfine.
