In Chicago, writer Gavin Van Horn and environmental artist and activist Jenny Kendler visit her new art installation, "Birds Watching." It's on the 606, an urban canopy trail that runs through the center of the city. The sculpture confronts viewers with the gaze of 100 giant bird eyes — a reminder of how many eyes are watching us. Not all of them are human.
