Katie and her husband have raised four kids, and are delighted to be grandparents. The show is produced at the Sun Spot Solar Studio. Katie is the executive director of The Children's Hour, Inc, a New Mexico nonprofit dedicated to creating and distributing public radio for kids. Katie started in radio when she was just 14 years old at WDGC-fm in Downers Grove, Illinios.
She hopes everyone listening comes away with new knowledge about the topic du jour. She also partners with teachers to create radio shows for class projects, and joins with community organizations to bring kids voices to public radio. Katie also reaches into the community, with regular live broadcasts from venues across New Mexico. Katie works with a crew of dedicated children who help produce the show, including writing and voicing scripts and reviews, helping choose jokes, show themes, music and guests, and assisting in all aspects of the live broadcast. The show's goal is to bring informative, entertaining and engaging radio programming to listeners of all ages, showcasing local kids and kid-friendly organizations, while involving kids in all aspects of the production. These hawks eat a wide variety of mammals and birds and can carry prey weighing several times their own weight.Katie Stone is the host and producer of The Children's Hour radio show and podcast. They are powerful and fiercely protective of their young, having been known to threaten humans who ventured too close. These great birds form monogamous pairs and share duties sitting on eggs, but the male leaves to hunt and bring back food for the female hawk. Very adaptable, they live from suburbia to the wilderness, the far north to the south. Red-tailed hawks are one of the largest and most common hawk species in the Americas. Situated between the Chupadera Mountains to the west and the San Pascual Mountains to the east, the 57,331 acre Bosque del Apache was established in 1939 to provide a critical stopover site for migrating waterfowl.
They live in a large aviary in the WRR sanctuary that is dense with oak trees and are cared for by staff members who provide them with an appropriate diet and an interesting and suitable habitat, and then step back and allow these majestic birds to live as close to a natural life as possible. Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge is located in San Antonio, Socorro County, New Mexico. Wildlife Rescue is home to five red-tailed hawks, all of whom have suffered wing injuries caused by gunshot wounds or collisions with cars and power-lines. Sadly, however, because of the “pet” trade, habitat destruction, and killing for their feathers, this species is endangered. Their preferred diet consists of seeds, fruits, and other plant materials. Visitors will have a rare opportunity to experience these new wildlife babies along with the other 20 species of native wildlife in their natural habitats. They are considered smarter than dogs, but make far less desirable “pets.” Like all wild animals, wild birds need lives that are interesting and they need contact with other birds, one cannot imagine they would ever choose life alone in a cage. Come meet Foxie, a red fox, and Thunder, a pronghorn, who are the newest baby rescues at Wildlife West Nature Park in Edgewood. Males and females are identical and cannot be visually differentiated by humans, although they manage for themselves quite well. Yellow-headed amazons are native to tropical Central and South America and are members of the parrot family. Though parrots and other wild birds have been kept as “pets” for generations, here at WRR we still see them as wild animals in need of interesting space where they can fly and live with other birds. The four yellow-headed amazons who reside at WRR all came from the wild animal “pet” trade. Sponsor a Yellow-headed Amazon in Sanctuary
