    Migratory Birds in the US are protected by law. And they have a Connecticut Yankee to thank. George Payne McLean served as Governor and a US Senator for Connecticut. This week on The Full Story we’ll speak with the author of a new biography detailing the life and work of Senator McLean, and it was written by his great-great nephew. Also we’ll speak with the Connecticut Audubon Society about their new program to get students excited about science.
