University of Illinois ornithologist Michael Ward discusses the plight of birds. Are the declining populations dire? Why are Midwestern migrating birds being found in shark stomachs in the Gulf of Mexico? Ward tells what is being done across the borders, in Illinois agricultural lands, and how we can help in our backyards. What to do about barn swallows nesting above a patio? Can you feed birds people food like stale bread and crackers? What can be done to stop birds from hitting the window? Should we feed birds all year? How do we attract more than just sparrows to our feeders? Should we clean our birdfeeders?
