Feeding Wild Birds in America

We have long been fascinated with the history of the wild birds in our country, so we're excited to get writer and educator Margaret Barker in the studio for a conversation. Margaret is a Chesapeake Bay native with an interest in watching birds. She and her colleagues Paul Baicich and Carrol Henderson just published a book called Feeding Wild Birds in America: Culture, Commerce and Conservation
