Description: Late summer into autumn is a time when some birds are finishing up nesting and many birds are molting. Did you know that you may be breaking a federal law by disturbing nesting birds or possessing a feather or egg collection? Dr. Jim Tomko shares his knowledge about the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1916, how it is intertwined with the beginning of the National Audubon Society, and how having feathers, nests or eggs may ... or may not ... be cause for concern. 

Western Cuyahoga Audubon is a chapter of the National Audubon Society based in Cuyahoga County in Northern Ohio, USA. WCAS seeks to connect and educate the public and conserve natural habitats for the sustainability of all bird species.
