Which Chickadee - Black-capped or Carolina?

From BirdNote | 01:45

Of all the birds that turn up at birdfeeders, chickadees are favorites. And they’re instantly recognizable. Yet sometimes we have to ask ourselves: “Which chickadee is it?” In the eastern and central states, there are two species: Black-capped Chickadees pervade the northern half of the region, and Carolina Chickadees, like this one, the southern half. But in some places, they overlap. And while the two look nearly identical, their voices give them away!

The Mass Shooting Sequence: In Memoriam

From Susan J. Cook | Part of the The River Is Wide series | 02:46

The Mass Shooting Sequence 
I.
Somewhere today is not the day their thoughts
imagined. It is draped in the sinewed
muscle of a policeman who daubs
tears from his eyes, seeing slaughter. Renewed
belief in human goodness becomes an
arduous reexamination and
grief, failed human empathy, succumbed and 
suffocated by the self-serving hand
of the NRA and the greed of gun
makers and perpetrators of myths:
the mass shooting, one lone misstep, among
ten uncounted seconds,  or more, dismissed.
Somewhere the day they thought it would be is
drowned in oblivion's self-serving fist.
II.
Now they will be telling the world just who 
the victims are. The lawn chairs blown to bits,
yes, their bodies riddled with bullets, too,
how old they were, if there were little kids
with them who also were ripped apart by
the delirious-looking man's assault
weapon. Now they will tell us the heart's side,
who they leave behind and quickly. The fault
will be placed on the mental illness of
the young man, who found the gun he wanted
the most. Now they photograph the stillness
of it, the NRA speaks, soon, undaunted.
It's like the stillness has dropped from their mind,
like a stone, a drowned body no one finds.
III. 
The stillness after the mass shooting is
the time of immobility because
now the people cannot move, they list
to the side each of them fell on. We fall
aimless, when the body becomes lifeless, 
its intent lost to the splay of bullets
from the shooter's weapon. Now the time best
spent, listening, where there's no sound, pull its
last drops from the air, which cannot be breath
now. In the stillness it is clearer, now.
The explosion's detritus has now left
the air, fallen to the ground, nearer now.
After this life is siphoned off, the killed
innocence makes no sound, no blood to spill.

Summer Beers

From Delmarva Public Media | Part of the Beer Notes series | 02:00

Beernoteslogo_small The days are longer, the beaches are open again, and summer approaches.  This week on Beer Notes, we are highlighting the summer beers produced here on the Shore.

Craft beers full of flavor and lighter in color are popular as warm weather approaches.  Sours and fruited beers including the milkshake IPAs come into their own.  Porters and stouts are taking a back seat to pilsners, wit biers, and IPAs of all varieties.

Here on the Shore where local politicians say the sun kisses Ocean City first each morning, the ocean dominates our environment and our psyche, and so does summer. 

EVO craft brewing in Salisbury Maryland has the Delmarva Pure Pils, A supremely sessionable Eastern Shore take on a Czech-style pilsner.

Fin City, started in a crab house in West Ocean City, still serves crabs in working boats permanently docked at their pier all summer.  They take their location and fishing seriously.  With names like Angler Ale, White Marlin Pale Ale, Blackfin Black IPA, Catch of the Day IPA, and Backfin Blue Crab Stout to Marga Wheat A and  Marina Colada.  They even made a beer to support the creation and maintenance of artificial reefs off the coast of Ocean City for fishing habitat, OC Reef Red. 

3rd Wave-, a woman owned brewery in Delmar, a small village that sits astride the state border between Delaware and Maryland produces the SandStorm Belgian Tripel, BeachBreak Apricot Wheat, and ShoreBreak Pale Ale.

Crooked Hammock, nestled in among the beach resort towns of Coastal Delaware- produces BEACH ESCAPE and Hammock Easy.  Their neighbor in Lewes, Big Oyster Brewing has the Hammerhead IPA, a traditional west coast style that competes with the best  IPAs on the market.

As summer crests the horizon, make sure that your vision includes locally made craft beer with names and flavors that bring to mind all the places and activities you love about the season.

Eco Report - March 22, 2024

From WFHB | Part of the EcoReport series | 29:34

Wfhbshowgraphics_square-crop-11-300x300_small

In this week's Eco Report feature we hear from Elisa Pokral, Community Outreach Coordinator of the newly rebranded Waste Reduction District of Monroe County, in Part Two of a conversation with Environmental Correspondent Zyro Roze. 

Today brings the conclusion of the story of fishing in the oceans. We have seen tremendous changes in the fishing techniques as the increasing human population brought the need to catch more fish. Fishermen have gone from fishing within a few milesof where they lived to a situation where they could be fishing anywhere in the world, spending months at sea. Now it is possible to use sonar to identify whether there are fish below the boat or not. Thus, the fishermen only deploy their nets in areaswhere there are fish. There are seven points to be made about ocean fishing.
  1. The stocks of the most desirable species, for example, codfish and halibut, are less than one percent what they were in 1600. There are no virgin areas left in the oceans. Most areas now have less than ten percent of the fish they had at 1600.
  2. The fish in the northern hemisphere are the most depleted because the majority of the human population lives in the northern hemisphere.
  3. There are pluses and minuses in selecting either wild-caught or farm-raised seafood. The bottom line is that there are not enough wild species left in the ocean to satisfy the demand. Approximately two billion people get their only animal proteinfrom seafood. Most of this population lives in poor countries where fishing is done by canoe or small boats. They fish in territorial waters.
  4. Farm-raised fish are more readily available and less expensive than wild-caught fish, and they face some of the same problems as large-scale farms on land. Pollution of natural habitats is also a concern with fish grown in open-net cages. A unique problem with farmed fish is that those raised in nets can introduce diseases and pests to wild populations. A few years ago in Norway, farmed salmon infected the country’s wild salmon with sea lice, significantly decreasing the population of wild salmon. Farmed salmon will also sometimes escape their enclosures, mating with and overtaking wild salmon species. Farm-raised fish tend to have higher fat content, since wild fish get more exercise, and because farmed fish are typically given feed high in fat from sources such as fish oil. That includes healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids, as well as saturated fat. Wild-caught fish may contain more trace minerals, while farmed fish may contain more sodium. Nutritional differences between farmed and wild-caught shellfish, however, are minimal.
  5. The least expensive way to protect wild species is to form preserves. These are areas that cannot be fished. Fishermen arealways happy to set side areas where there are no fish, but they oppose setting aside areas with abundant numbers. Enforcement requires that a government vessel must go out to the preserve and visually see that the intruder is fishing. This requirement effectively means that poor countries cannot defend their territorial waters. Fishermen have successfully prevented following all boats from shore. We have the technology to locate where every boat is. What is needed is acceptance of monitoring from shore, plus the power to seize a boat if it enters a preserve area.
  6. Preserves need to be established in the Arctic Ocean, and off Antarctica. Given that the rest of the oceans will be too warm for species such as cod, the polar waters will become the last refuge of cold-water fish. As the Arctic ocean warms, the number of days it will be ice-free will increase, bringing increased pressure from nations to fish. The Arctic ocean will be ice-free long before the Antarctic Ice Cap melts completely.
  7. As the glaciers melt, the oceans will rise, which will bring new areas into the possibility of fishing. For example, if the oceans increase by 50 feet, much of the Florida Peninsula will be under water. Thus, will the buildings of Miami be occupied by creatures of the sea?

The trend of consuming more and more farm-raised fish will continue. As the water temperatures rise, many of the original stocks may leave, replaced by completely different species.

How much do you know about plastic? If you are like most people, you have it in your kitchen as plastic food wrapper bags, or saran wrap, or plastic film over a container that is also make of plastic. In fact, plastic is everywhere. Not only is it used to hold produce or other foods, it is now in the food you eat, your soil and also in your body. Plastic does not go away or compost down. It breaks into smaller and smaller pieces until it becomes microscopic, but it is still there. So I thought a little history lesson on plastic might be interesting to some of you. I grew up before it was a “big thing” in the kitchen. Milk came in bottles, my sandwich for lunch was wrapped in wax paper, I used a paper bag to carry my lunch. My mother put leftovers in metal containers or glass jars. However, it was around. Just not as obvious. Our TV had a plastic frame around it. It was very hard and didn’t break.

The term “plastic” originally meant “pliable and easily shaped.” It has evolved to refer to a category of materials called polymers. Polymers are made of long chains of molecules. Cellulose, found in plant cell walls, is a natural polymer. Humans learned to create synthetic polymers, often using carbon atoms from petroleum and fossil fuels. These synthetic polymers are strong, lightweight, and flexible, making them exceptionally useful.In 1869, John Wesley Hyatt invented the first synthetic polymer. Inspired by a New York firm’s offer of $10,000 for an ivory substitute, he treated cellulose (from cotton fiber) with camphor. The result was celluloid, a plastic that could imitate natural substances like tortoiseshell, horn, and ivory. Celluloid revolutionized manufacturing by freeing it from the constraints of natural resources. It also helped protect elephants and tortoises.
 
In 1907, Leo Baekeland invented Bakelite, the first fully synthetic plastic. Unlike celluloid, Bakelite contained no molecules found in nature. Bakelite was an excellent insulator, heat-resistant, and ideal for mass production. This breakthrough marked the beginning of the plastics revolution, allowing humans to create new materials beyond nature’s limits. Over the last century, plastics have saturated our world and transformed our lives. They’ve made material wealth more widespread, freed people from resource scarcity, and shaped our environment. From celluloid to Bakelite to modern synthetic polymers, plastics continue to evolve, presenting both challenges and opportunities for innovation and sustainability.
 
In summary, plastics have come a long way—from imitating natural materials to revolutionizing manufacturing and shaping our modern existence. But now, it is getting out of control.

Are you looking for a way to make a difference on environmental issues? Eco Report is looking for reporters, engineers, and segment producers who are passionate about reporting facts on how we’re all affected by global climate disruption and the ongoing assaults on our air, land and water. We also celebrate ecologists, tree huggers, soil builders and an assortment of champions who actively protect and restore our natural world, particularly those who are active in south central Indiana.  All levels of experience and all ages are welcome, and we provide the training you’ll need. WFHB also offers internships. To volunteer for Eco Report, give us a call at (812) 323-1200, or e-mail us at: earth@wfhb.org.

Are you one of those people who believes our Mother Earth is getting dirtier and dirtier from all our trash? Here are a few tips to help keep the Earth cleaner.

  • Stop buying Styrofoam items. Styrofoam is forever. It is not biodegradable, so instead invest in some reusable mugs that you can take with you.
  • Do you like to eat salmon? Several studies have found that PCB’s, which is a class of toxic chemicals, and other environmental toxins are present at higher levels in farm raised salmon than wild salmon. Look for safe seafood when shopping for salmon.
  • What about those coffee filters? Are you a coffee drinker? Dioxins, chemicals formed during the chlorine bleaching process, contaminate groundwater and air and are linked to cancer. Start buying unbleached paper filters or use reusable filters.
  • We all love to go to picnics, especially when the weather is nice. The next time you host or attend a picnic, bring your own utensils and food containers. Plastic forks, spoons, straws, and all that plastic stuff you see at a picnic are not biodegradable and not recyclable.
  • One more thing you might want to stop using is paper towels. Regular paper towels are bleached, and waste forest resources and landfill space. Look for recycled, non-bleached paper towels or better yet, buy dishtowels or rags to wash and reuse.

Thank you for protecting Mother Earth. Keep looking for ways you can make a difference!
