The Animal House from WAMU 88.5

Over the past several months a series of violent and fatal attacks on dolphins in the Gulf Coast waters have state and federal officials on high alert. Dr. Erin Fougeres of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is involved in the investigation of these criminal acts, and she gives Sam Litzinger the latest details. Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and journalist Kathryn Bowers have written a book about the extraordinary opportunities that exist in cross-discipline collaboration in the medical profession and they spoke to Sam Litzinger about the possibilities. BirdNote follows with a story about an avian species that is in the midst of its annual migration from the grasslands of Montana to winter homes in California, Texas and Mexico.
