Nature's systems are marvelous and efficient organisms, the product of millions of years of fine-tuning. But what happens if you tinker with the natural parts? Join ornithologist Steve Betchkal as he explains how climate crisis is impacting birds and bird conservation, and what you can do to help where you live. Moderated by BJ Hollars, author of Flock Together: A Love Affair with Extinct Birds. (No registration required.)
