From soaring mountains to endless plains, from rugged coastlines to rivers and streams. Each episode will feature an expert guest — a ranger, a researcher, a birder, or an adventurer — someone who has seen what we want to see and been where we want to go.

Send us Fan Mail Title E80 John Squires – Canada Lynx, Wolverines & a Lifetime in the Wild Buzzsprout Description Canada Lynx and wolverines are two of North America’s most elusive mammals. Most of us will never see either one in the wild. John Squires has spent decades following both. In this episode of Naturally Scott, Scott Harris sits down with John, a research wildlife biologist with the Forest Service’s Rocky Mountain Research Station, whose career has taken him deep into the snowy ...
Send us Fan Mail Every March, one of the greatest wildlife spectacles in North America takes place along a relatively short stretch of Nebraska’s Platte River. Roughly a million Sandhill Cranes migrate north each spring, and an estimated 80 percent of them funnel through the Platte—a remarkable migration bottleneck where enormous numbers of these ancient birds gather to rest and refuel before continuing toward their breeding grounds. In this edition of Naturally Scott Adventures, Scott ...
Send us Fan Mail Joshua Tree National Park sits at the meeting point of two deserts, welcomes roughly three million visitors a year, and protects a landscape filled with Joshua trees, desert bighorn sheep, mountain lions, tortoises, bats—and some of the darkest skies within reach of Southern California. In this episode of Naturally Scott, Scott Harris sits down with Jane Rodgers, superintendent of Joshua Tree National Park, to talk about what it takes to protect one of America’s most recogniz...
Send us Fan Mail Along historic Route 66 in the Arizona desert sits the tiny town of Oatman—a former gold-mining community where the most famous residents have four legs. In this edition of Naturally Scott Adventures, Scott Harris visits the wild burros of Oatman, Arizona, descendants of the animals that once worked the region’s mines. When mining faded, the burros were left behind. They adapted to the brutal desert, survived, and generations later still roam the Black Mountains. But Oatman’s...
Send us Fan Mail Amy Tan is best known as the bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club. But in recent years, another passion has taken over much of her attention: the birds in her own backyard. In this episode of Naturally Scott, Scott Harris sits down with Amy to talk about The Backyard Bird Chronicles, a deeply personal collection of observations, sketches, questions, and encounters that grew out of her return to nature during a difficult period in her life. What began as a private journal e...
Send us Fan Mail With a wingspan approaching 10 feet, the California Condor is a bird you don't simply see—you experience. In this edition of Naturally Scott Adventures, Scott Harris travels to Navajo Bridge in Arizona, where the Colorado River cuts through Marble Canyon and one of the rarest birds in North America has found an extraordinary place to roost. Scott considers it the best place in the world to experience California Condors, with birds sometimes resting on the bridge girders almos...
Send us Fan Mail Squirrels raid our bird feeders, bury thousands of nuts, leap between trees, and somehow seem to outsmart nearly every obstacle we put in their way. But just how remarkable are they? In this episode of Naturally Scott, Scott Harris sits down with squirrel expert John Koprowski of the University of Wyoming to explore an animal nearly everyone knows—but few of us truly appreciate. John has spent much of his career studying squirrels, a family that includes more than 300 species...
Send us Fan Mail Owls are usually creatures of forests, trees, and darkness. Burrowing Owls break just about every one of those rules. In this edition of Naturally Scott Adventures, Scott Harris heads to Cape Coral, Florida, a city that calls itself the “Burrowing Owl Capital of the World”—and makes a pretty convincing case. Unlike most owls, these tiny raptors live underground, spend much of their day out in the open, and have become remarkably comfortable sharing their neighborhoods with pe...
