In this week’s episode of Birds of a Feather Talk Together, we’re thrilled to welcome ornithologist Jenna McCullough to the show for a deep dive into one of the most endangered birds on the planet: the Guam Kingfisher. Once extinct in the wild, this striking bird—known for its bold colors and elusive nature—has become a powerful symbol of conservation.

Jenna shares the incredible story of how scientists are working to bring the Guam Kingfisher back from the brink, the challenges of breeding and reintroducing birds in captivity, and why this species matters for the future of island ecosystems. It's a conversation full of hope, science, and passion for birdlife.

Hosted by married ornithologists John Bates and Shannon Hackett, alongside amateur birding couple RJ and Amanda Pole, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about birds, biodiversity, and what it takes to save a species.
