Dakota Midday: Christmas Season Bird Count

With 116 years of unbroken data, the annual Christmas Season Bird Count continues nationwide. Professor K.C. Jensen and volunteer birder Michael Melius share what it's like to count birds in the middle of a South Dakota winter.

Lori Walsh is the host and senior producer of In the Moment.
