Spring Avian Migration: The Birds Are Back!

Canada Geese is just one of the many species of birds currently migrating northward.

Take a walk outside right now, and you'll be greeted by a cacophonous symphony of avian serenaders. Robins, phoebes, red-winged blackbirds, pine warblers and others have been making their way back to their summer breeding grounds.

Then you'll hear the raspy honk of a flock of Canada geese that starts off in the distance until it reaches a fever pitch as the tell-tale V formation passes above you.

It's obviously time for our annual spring bird show.

Bird Diva Bridget Butler joins us to discuss bird behavior and spring migration patterns and to share tips on birding.

Broadcast live on Mon., April 18, 2016, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
