Laura reported back in 2004 that we were in the Sixth Mass Extinction. News from last week was reporting the same thing, but in the intervening years, we haven’t done a thing about it. The recording for the program, from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds, is of the now-extinct Bachman’s Warbler, recorded by G. Stuart Keith in South Carolina on 15 May 1959.
