How, and why, to connect with wildlife in your own backyard
Science Friday | Nov 6
Many of us have gotten sucked into the tiny dramas unfolding in our backyards, or on the bird feeder or the fire escape. But not everyone can turn those observations into a best-selling book.
Author Margaret Renkl joins Host Flora Lichtman to talk about the SciFri Book Club pick for November and December, “The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year.” In it, she tells the stories of her own yard over the course of a year to help her make sense of the changes in our world and in her own life.
Read an excerpt from “The Comfort of Crows.”
