Join me for my interview with Rosemary Mosco, science writer, author cartoonist & member of Mass Audubon & The National Park Service.   Her new book, The Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching should be in every car.  The most misunderstood bird. Who knew?  Fascinating creatures told by someone who really has a knack for describing bird behaviors and habits. You will never look at them the same way.
