Weidensaul shares with Scouts

Earlier this week, author and naturalist Scott Weidensaul spoke to Boy Scouts on Marco Island, Fla., about birding and banding, the practice of placing metal bands on birds' legs to collect data and track the birds' movements. He's currently in the Sunshine State for the 4th annual Southwest Florida Birding & Wildlife Festival.

You can read about Weidensaul's experiences as a birder and bander on his blog, Of a Feather. At his website, you can see if he'll visit an event near you.
