The Habitats Watch List With American Bird Conservancy's David Wiedenfeld

Join us as we speak with ornithologist David Wiedenfeld from the American Bird Conservancy about the formation and the importance of the Habitats Watch List -- a list that keeps track of specialized habitats and the bird species each habitat supports throughout the United States. David received his PhD from Florida State University. His work has focused on bird population ecology and conservation biology. He served for five years as Director of Research at the Sutton Avian Research Center, working primarily on prairie-chickens. He was also Head of the Department of Vertebrate Ecology at the Charles Darwin Research Station in the Galapagos Islands. His work was primarily with bird populations, but also included projects on invasive species, including predators, diseases, and parasites. .Join Catherine Greenleaf, a certified wildlife rehabilitator with 25 years of experience rescuing and rehabilitating injured wildlife, for twice-monthly discussions about restoring native habitat and helping the birds in your backyard.
