We’re in the middle of our Fall Fundraising campaign which we call “Drive Time,” so instead of taking your new phone calls today, we’re re-airing some old calls we’ve gotten on our pet days so far in 2024. Dr. Majure, Libby Hartfield, and Kevin Farrell are all grateful to you for listening and supporting us on the show. If you enjoy this show and other local programs MPB Think Radio airs throughout the week, consider donating to MPB. If you call in regularly, we appreciate you contributing to the show, but today we ask you to contribute in a different type of way. It’s really easy and it only takes about 3 minutes of your time. Call or text the word give to the number 888-372-4483, or click the donate now button at mpbonline.org. Thanks for listening – and giving – to MPB Think Radio.

With Mississippi located in the center of the South, our state has many visitors stop to admire the scenery as they make their way to another destination. Our guest for the day has spent decades studying the visitors that pass through our state. Migratory bird expert, Dr. Frank Moore, joins to tell us about upcoming fall migrations and how our avian friends can complete these flights.

When traveling, have you ever had to experience an overnight red-eye flight? Our subjects for today’s show are all too familiar with those moonlit flights – we’re talking about bats. Katelin Cross, a conservation biologist at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, joins us today to tell us all about Mississippi’s bats, how important they are to our ecosystem, and whether or not you should be concerned when you come in contact with one.
