Springtime means the return of waterfowl, shorebirds and songbirds to Maine. But a warming climate means that some birds have stayed here all winter. We'll learn about changes and threats to bird populations, as well as avian flu's impacts on wild birds. And we'll talk about what birds to look for, where to go, and which rare birds have been spotted recently.
