Today we speak with Michael J. Parr, the president of the American Bird Conservancy, about his new book, Birds of the Tropical Andes. Together with co-author and photographer Owen Deutsch, Michael writes about the incredible biodiversity of the Andes and gives us some great trips for traveling to South America to watch birds. Join Catherine Greenleaf, a certified wildlife rehabilitator with 20 years of experience rescuing and rehabilitating injured birds, for twice-monthly discussions about restoring native habitat and helping the birds in your backyard.
