species. Learn about Audubon’s Climate Watch program, the sci-
ence that is its foundation and current results. Kathy will talk

birds’ response to climate change and the way you can help

website, but e-mails are at least sent to folks who have expressed
interest in the campaigns and/or who follow the issues.
