10-44: The Grassland Queen with Priyanka Kumar

The Long-billed Curlew is perhaps an unexpected symbol of the Great Plains, but it's a fabulous bird whose story is inextricably woven into the fabric of this wonderful landscape. Nature writer Priyanka Kumar's newest book, The Grassland Queen, is a love story to the vast open country in the middle of the continent and, especially, to that bizarre and amazing bird. Also, the AOS supplement is finally out, and with it comes a lot of changes - some expected and some quite less so.
