Border Fence along the Rio Grande

Thank you to those who have enjoyed my podcasts.  Today I am posting a
new podcast with the sounds from The Nature Conservancy Southmost
Preserve.  This preserve was on the news yesterday at NPR because of
the border fence which the Conservancy is trying to prevent from
running through the middle of the preserve.

Here is the NPR story:

Here is my text from the podcast:

"The Nature Conservancy has preserved precious and rare habitat along
the Rio Grande in southern Texas.  Border fence construction threatens
the integrity of this habitat.  A pond, just behind the home of the
preserve manager, is filled with life.  Listen for Red-winged
Blackbird, Great-tailed Grackle, Black-necked Stilt, White-tipped
Dove, Northern Mockingbird, Mourning Dove, Common Moorhen, and, just
at the end of the podcast, a brief appearance of the rare
=93Brownsville=94 subspecies of Common Yellowthroat.  My apologies for
distant traffic sounds, the newsworthiness of the Preserve prompted me
to present this soundscape so that all might enjoy the sounds of this
threatened pocket of subtropical life."
