The specter of a World Without Birds is certainly a sobering one, but also one that could inspire new birders and environmentalists to support the efforts to forestall extinction. In Nick Lund’s latest book, this one intended for younger readers, Nick tells the stories of avian extinctions caused by humans, but also those of birds that have been rescued from that fate. In their wide-ranging discussion, Nick and Nate also share stories of birds seen in unlikely places—and the birding goals of a marathoner. 

Also, a new study about birds and brain health has made it to The Today Show!
