Birds in Winter
from Nature Now
It's getting cold and rainy outside. We've gotten out our winter clothes and rain boots, checked that our home's furnace is working well, stocked up on comfort foods, and perhaps, planned a winter vacation to a warmer and sunnier place. As the seasons change, some birds migrate to warmer places. But, how do the birds that stay the winter survive? Listen as Nan Evans talks with Christie Lassen of Wild Birds Unlimited in Gardiner, WA, about the behavioral, physical, and physiological strategies used by our regional birds.
