While many bird populations are facing serious declines, other birds are flourishing thanks to the work of bird conservationists all around the world.
Ornithologist and author Scott Weidensaul has a new book, Return of the Oystercatcher: Saving Birds to Save the Planet, in which he introduces us to the people and groups that are restoring and preserving bird habitat, and who are studying bird habits and health. Weidensaul is also an active field researcher whose work focuses on bird migration.
