Summary: City dwellers can enjoy an avian safari in close proximity to residential areas and public spaces, with a little help from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The esteemed research center has created Celebrate Urban Birds, a new citizen science project that teaches children and adults how to become sophisticated birders, within a few steps from home. We hear from the program’s administrator, Karen Purcell. Also, Washington Post reporter Lenny Bernstein shares details of a new study that draws a connection between global warming and a significant northward migration of marine species.
