Photo I took of Grand Canyon
National Geographic Wild America channel is a new channel in the satellite lineup that is in my book a great channel. Tonight they are exploring the Grand Canyon which is one of my favorite places to visit.
America’s Wild Spaces: Grand Canyon
NGC joins a scientific expedition to explore the Grand Canyon’s entire 277- mile lenght. We’ll trace its geological history, study its colonies of vegetation and examine its unique creatures to unlock the mysteries of this wonder.
This is a pretty good show tracing wildlife and human impact on the canyon. They covered a story I reported on a few years back on the accidental death of wildlife biologist Eric York
They also covered the restoration of the Condor and the impact of hunting on them. Many believe that Condors are being poisoned by ingesting lead from gut piles of hunter killed game animals. There has been an effort to get hunters to use lead free ammunition to reduce the possibility of poisoning the birds.
A very good show and worth watching if you have any interest in the Grand Canyon, wildlife, and the natural world. I’m sure they’ll rebroadcast this show in the future so check the listings and DVR it you won’t be disappointed.
