How Bluebirds Made a Comeback in Maryland | Outdoors Maryland Classic

Title: How Bluebirds Made a Comeback in Maryland | Outdoors Maryland Classic
Runtime: 8:34
Date posted: 6 months ago
Description: From the archives: this segment from 1999 documented the rebound of the Eastern Bluebird in Maryland. Today, bluebirds are a relatively common sight—but during the early to mid-20th century, their population fell to about 10% of historic levels, due to a combination of habitat loss and competition from invasive species like the European Starling.

Thanks to committed bluebird lovers, this little native songbird has become one of America’s great conservation success stories.

Description: Meet the mysterious American eel! Born in the Sargasso Sea, these long slimy fish migrate thousands of miles into freshwater rivers and streams – including tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. Damming of waterways has contributed to the steep decline in eel populations, as they were blocked from accessing important upstream habitat. Here in Maryland, biologists work to track and restore the state’s eel populations.

Is there art hidden in the tides? | Lifeblood: Chesapeake River Stories

Title: Is there art hidden in the tides? | Lifeblood: Chesapeake River Stories
Runtime: 7:26
Date posted: 7 months ago
Description: Meet a pair of driftwood artists, Larry Ringgold and Bernie Houston, who find inspiration along Maryland’s shorelines. What begins as a shoreline search becomes a larger story about creativity, craftsmanship, friendship, along with Chesapeake Bay's influence on the artists who work along its waters.

Their process begins with searching the shoreline for driftwood shaped naturally by the tides, wind, sand, and waves. After collecting the wood, they return to their studios, where each knot, root, curve, and piece of cedar is shaped, fitted, or refined until the natural shape of the wood becomes part of the finished artwork.
