Skiers vs bighorn sheep…clash in the Tetons

Season 8 · Episode 4

Tuesday, November 3, 2026 • Duration 24:24

When a backcountry skier hits the high mountain slopes above Jackson Hole, Wyoming, they’re not alone. These high elevation hide outs are also home to Bighorn Sheep. And there may not be room enough for both in this western landscape. Skiers and sheep are competing for space and wildlife officials are taking drastic measures that some people are not super happy about.

I’ve seen this kind of tension on every continent I’ve ever worked on - ramming heads in the world’s wild places. But this story is unique because the conflict isn’t strip mining, it's not logging, or housing developments, it’s people playing in the mountains - maybe that’s the hardest thing in the world for humans to give up. When we’re out loving nature, might we just love parts of it to death? Even if we don’t know we’re doing that?

Well, it’s all unfolding in the bighorn sheep country of the Wyoming Rockies.

Earth Day 2026 - You look beautiful

Wednesday, April 22, 2026 • Duration 12:43

You look amazing, you look beautiful. Those are the words of Victor Glover, pilot of NASA’s Artemis 2 mission. He spoke those words less than a month ago on his trip to the moon. His way of describing our planet as he peered out the window of his space capsule and took in the view. I couldn't think of a better message than that as we reshare our special episode to celebrate our planet. So I hope you enjoy and happy Earth Day!

Bird watching and listening with Libby Mills

Season 7 · Episode 16

Tuesday, March 3, 2026 • Duration 33:10

When I was eight, growing up in England, I was already really into birds. I was in the Young Ornithologists Club for goodness sake! I didn't have one friend who was into birds. But these days, things are different. Here in the USA, almost 100 million people birdwatch. And that number's growing.

There's a lot going on between the birds, as they flit around chirping and singing To us, it might just sound like beautiful little tunes. But to birds, and even other species in the forest, there’s a whole hidden world of conversation out there— love songs, alarm calls, turf wars, parenting struggles — entire dramas unfolding above our heads.

So what are they saying? And why are they saying it? Naturalist Libby Mills has spent almost her entire life learning how to make sense of what the birds are saying.

Today, I take a walk with Libby in her backyard where she helps us slow down, listen deeply, and try to better understand what’s going on in a bird’s world.

GUEST:
Libby Mills, naturalist at the North Cascades Institute

Check out our Great British Birding Show episode to meet a wildly enthusiastic birder on the other side of the pond.
Bird book Libby recommends: The Sibley Guide to Birds - Second Edition

This is our last official episode of the season. It’s been so much fun - thank you for coming along with us to some truly wild places. We will be back in the fall with more episodes. But in the meantime, we want to hear from you! What kinds of stories do you want to hear? What should we do differently? Please consider taking THE WILD survey

Grey seals of Scotland: my lost tapes from 1994

Season 7 · Episode 15

Tuesday, February 24, 2026 • Duration 46:48

Today, a fun trip down memory lane!

Lots of things have shaped my life and work as an ecologist, and this experience when I was 25 was one of them. As I wrapped up my master's degree at the University of Durham in England, I was hired onto a grey seal project on some tiny, uninhabited islands off the coast of Scotland.

While I was there, I recorded the seals and the six weeks of fieldwork on my Walkman cassette recorder. I had no idea I’d be digging into those archives 32 years later!

Hear the tape, learn about the seals, and listen to our conversation when I track down Dr Sean Twiss who hired me all those years ago. This was a fun one!

GUEST:
Dr. Sean Twiss, associate professor of animal behavior and behavior ecology at Durham University in England

We want to hear from you! What kinds of stories do you want to hear? What should we do differently? Please consider taking THE WILD survey. It will only take a few moments of your time. Thanks!
