Birds are full of energy—literally and figuratively! With the highest body temperatures of all animals, remarkable adaptations, and awe-inspiring migrations, they have much to teach us about energy. At the same time, human energy systems affect birds uniquely and severely. Naturalist and energy educator Martin Ogle delivers a fascinating exploration of avian life through the lens of energy . . . and vice versa! Discover how the National Audubon Society is connecting energy, climate change and birds. Learn about a myriad of energy-related adaptations in birds (including one found in the legs of birds and in modern buildings!) and new ways we are lessening the impact of human energy systems on birds. And more! This engaging program provides a fresh, little-known window into the world of birds while deepening our understanding of one of the most important issues of our time—energy.
