    Luíse O’Donovan

    Host: Orla Vaughan Editors: Caitríona Murphy and Orla April Koivisto Production Coordinator: Linda McGrath Production Support: Dani Lovera Teixeira, Megan Atkinson and Kai AllenLuíse O'Donovan (they/them) is a queer ecologist with a focus on seabird conservation and marine ecosystems. They work on seabird tracking projects, and have contributed to seabird censuses and monitored breeding wader populations. Luíse values wildlife for its own sake, and for how it connects us to our culture & to each other. Luise asked us to share some small corrections following the edit: "At 08:23 I said that whooper swans migrate from Iceland or Greenland - it's definitely Greenland. At 17:18 I said Brunnich's guillemots migrate 3000km with their chicks, but it's actually 400km (in 14 days with tiny chicks, so still very impressive). At 31:26 I said Grey Phalaropes winter off South America- the Alaskan/Siberian breeding populations do but the individual I saw would be wintering off West Africa." Recommendations & Resources: Queer Sheds- https://www.queersheds.org/  Faoin Tuath- https://www.queersheds.org/faointuath  Lucy O’Hagan at Wild Awake https://www.wildawake.ie/  Bird Watch Ireland, with books in their shop https://birdwatchireland.ie/  Free online resources for learning bird identification: Birdwatch Ireland's species profiles, the BTO's bird identification videos & Nord University has a free Bird ID app that gamifies learning by sight and sound if that's something that helps you learn.  The Call of the Birds by Séraphine Menu https://www.easons.com/the-call-of-the-birds-seraphine-menu-9781836270034?srsltid=AfmBOoqCiVTt4HQog9kl9GVZ09hbLmdEQG4TxJou_Ky3lh9Lpiegr7Xn Great IG follows for queer ecology/foraging/culture to follow: @wildawakeireland @savage.craic @queernature @atmos @bláthannafiáine @blackforager @nationalfolklorecollection  Books: The first few are available through your local library. I love the ‘Collins Bird guide’, or Birds of Ireland for a more concise ID guide.  ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ by Robin Wall Kimmerer will recentre your idea of where humans exist in the web of life!  I read ‘Forest Euphoria’ by Patricia Kaishan recently and really loved it,  and recommend ‘Slugs: a Manifesto’ by Abi Palmer to those who are grossed out by our slimy compatriots and those who love them equally.  Credits: Host: Orla Vaughan Editors: Caitríona Murphy and Orla April Koivisto Production Coordinator: Linda McGrath Production Support: Dani Lovera Teixeira, Megan Atkinson and Kai Allen Episodes were recorded on location in Co Clare, Ireland and in the Creative Studio, Ballyfermot Library, Dublin.
