Birds

Published September 5, 1996 at 11:00 PM CDT

Robert talks with Dr. Susan Drennan, vice-president for Ornithology at the National Audubon Society. They'll discuss the truth of the legend that tropical birds sometimes fly in the eye of a hurricane for protection from the vicious winds and rain, and as a result sometimes end up hundreds of miles away from their natural habitats.
