Episode: Backyard Birds

Every spring, millions of birds burn their fat reserves by flying thousands of miles from their wintering grounds in Central and South America to Wisconsin. La Crosse resident and conservationist Craig Thompson shows what he's got planted in his backyard buffet of flowers, bushes, and trees to satisfy these hungry birds and why a well-planted backyard can make a difference to the birds' survival.
