Research-based, we share species details, behaviors, habitat, and conservation information. And then at the end of each show we perform an ambient soundscape, to hold space for contemplation, delight, awe and perhaps grief. Without dedicated conservation action, some of these species will not survive the 21st century. And so, though listening and learning, perhaps we might acknowledge that journey with a moment of our attention, in recognition of our kinship. Thanks for listening.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bad-at-goodbyes-7020095"},"episode":{"title":"Sociable Lapwing","slug":"sociable-lapwing","published_at":"2026-05-13T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bad-at-goodbyes-7020095/sociable-lapwing","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bad-at-goodbyes-7020095","url":"https://badatgoodbyes.com/sociable-lapwing.html","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/812c8804-284e-4b7a-96b9-862acc8a2f4d.mp3","summary":"Sociable Lapwing :: Vanellus gregarius Bad at Goodbyes :: Episode 077 On today’s show we learn about the Sociable Lapwing, a critically endangered migratory avian, a bird, native to breeding grounds in Kazakhstan and wintering sites in Sudan, India, Pakistan, and in small pockets across the Middle East.
