Listen to my piece on duetting wrens that aired on “The World”:

“The answer to today’s Geo Quiz is the northernmost state in Costa Rica: Guanacaste. Reporter Ari Daniel Shapiro reports on new research into the musical ‘call and response’ patterns of birdcalls in Costa Rica’s Santa Rosa National Park.”
