Description
I'm guessing you know about The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, but do you know about the man who willed it to existance, the man known as "The Birdman of the Senate?"  I didn't until Will McLean Greeley, the Great-great nephew of Senator McLean, and author of a biography on Senator McLean reached out to me and we talked for the podcast.  It's a great story, and one I'm enjoying learning more about.   You can find the book on Amazon here or at the publisher's website here.  Read more about the book, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and more on my blog post.  Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the book.  Until next time, good birding!
