Episode 8 - Letters from Art Hawkins with Ken Blomberg

Beskrivelse

Host Keith Crowley talks with writer Ken Blomberg [http://www.kenmblomberg.com/] about the impact Art Hawkins had on wildlife science in the mid-20th Century. Hawkins was one of Aldo Leopold's students at the University of Wisconsin, and he went on to establish many modern methods of surveying wildlife populations including the invention of transects. Hawkins, along with Frank Bellrose saved the American Wood Duck and Hawkins was a founding member of the Wood Duck Society [http://www.woodducksociety.com/]. Hawkins and Bellrose designed the first wood duck houses and experimented with locating and design. Ken Blomberg continued a correspondence with Hawkins through many years and his new book "Letters from Art: Standing Tall in the Shadow of Aldo Leopold" is full of insights into Hawkins, Leopold, and many other giants of conservation. We also discuss Ken's German Shorthairs and how Aldo Leopold's famous dog Gus has direct blood ties to Blomberg's GSPs.

Episode 6 - Ding Darling, Duck Stamps and U.S. Presidents with Mark Madison

Host Keith Crowley talks with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Historian Mark Madison about J.M. "Ding" Darling, the creator of the Duck Stamp and the Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey (predecessor to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.) Darling was a Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoonist who had a knack for getting the most out of people when it came to conservation. Because of his leadership, his forethought and his political skills, billions of dollars have been raised for conservation over the past 80+ years through the Duck Stamp Act [https://www.fws.gov/birds/get-involved/duck-stamp/history-of-the-federal-duck-stamp.php]and the Pittman-Robertson Act [https://history.house.gov/Historical-Highlights/1901-1950/The-Wildlife-Restoration-Act-of-1937/]. Darling also created the artwork for the first Duck Stamp in 1934 [https://www.fws.gov/birds/get-involved/duck-stamp/federal-duck-stamp-gallery-1934-1935.php] as well as the flying goose symbol found at National Wildlife Refuges across America. Darling was a passionate hunter and passionate leader fighting for the preservation of the outdoor life he loved. Madison and Crowley discuss Ding's relationships with both Teddy Roosevelt (whom he admired as a personal friend and as the President) and Franklin Roosevelt (who he disliked politically, but grew to respect,) as well as his close friendship with President Herbert Hoover. Our host also explains his love of the Ding Darling Refuge [https://www.fws.gov/refuge/jn_ding_darling/] on Sanibel Island in Florida Related Information: * Ding Darling Bio [https://www.fws.gov/refuges/history/bio/darling.html] * History of the Duck Stamp [https://www.fws.gov/birds/get-involved/duck-stamp.php] * Darling Editorial Cartoon Archives [https://digital.lib.uiowa.edu/ding/] * Bye Now, It's Been Wonderful Knowing You [https://digital.lib.uiowa.edu/islandora/object/ui%3Ading_11261] (Ding's Farewell Cartoon, published posthumously.) * Images from Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge [https://crowleyimages.photoshelter.com/gallery/Ding-Darling-Refuge/G0000IvGgSYqWSSI] * Darling's Comic which won his first Pultizer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1924_Pulitzer_Prize#/media/File:In_Good_Old_U.S.A.jpg] _______________________________________________________________ Theme Music: Grip of the Black Gold [https://www.thunderheadsmusic.com/listen.html] Songwriter: Steve Blexrud [https://www.thunderheadsmusic.com/steve-blexrud] Performed by Steve Blexrud and Thunderheads [https://www.thunderheadsmusic.com/] _______________________________________________________________ Books by Keith Crowley * Pheasant Dogs: Stories from the Field [https://www.wildriverpress.com/product/pheasant-dogs/] * Gordon MacQuarrie: The Story of an Old Duck Hunter [https://www.amazon.com/Gordon-MacQuarrie-Story-Duck-Hunter/dp/0870203444/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1585487517&sr=1-1] * Wildlife in the Badlands [https://www.amazon.com/WILDLIFE-BADLANDS-Keith-R-Crowley/dp/1320863027/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=wildlife+in+the+badlands&qid=1585496918&s=digital-text&sr=1-1-catcorr] Keith Crowley's published wildlife and sporting photography can be found at CrowleyImages.com [https://www.crowleyimages.com/index]
