Wilmington, NC – Last week the National Audubon Society released a state of the birds report. The purpose was to draw attention to many bird species' rapidly disappearing population, with the hopes of reversing it. Commentator Andy Wood works for the National Audubon Society, and he has all the details.

Commentator Andy Wood is education curator for Audubon North Carolina and author of "Backyard Carolina," a collection of his WHQR commentaries.
