What do birds do in a storm? It's a question renowned birder David Allen Sibley often gets. But if you're watching birds at your feeder, you'll get a heads up that a storm is coming. Birds know. And, among other wonders, they can sleep in midflight and shrink their appetites during winter. Guest: David Allen Sibley, artist, birder, and author of Sibley Field Guides and “What It’s Like to Be a Bird: From Flying to Nesting, Eating to Singing—What Birds Are Doing, and Why”
