We visit Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center, just southwest of Lincoln, and hear about the work they're doing to protect Nebraska's disappearing grassland bird habitat.

Special thanks to Jason “the Birdnerd” St. Sauver for sharing all the things Spring Creek Prairie has to offer, and for his enthusiasm for birds.
