Last fall, SCWF's Habitat Education Manager, Jay Keck, was interviewed by Michael Falero, a contributor to the popular national nature podcast, BirdNote. They chose to talk about the prothonotary warbler, a declining species, and SCWF's efforts to help save it by installing and monitoring nesting boxes on public land at the Congaree Creek Heritage Preserve in Lexington county, SC. "We walked over a mile together and saw red-headed woodpeckers, a wood stork, and even a water moccasin, all while talking about the prothonotary warbler and what this bright yellow bird needs to survive both here in the eastern US, and on its wintering grounds in South America." Jay says it was one of the best field experiences he's ever been a part of! BirdNote’s daily show and special features reach millions of listeners around the world through digital podcasts and radio broadcasts. SCWF is proud to be able to share this wildlife conservation story with BirdNote’s audience!
