Summary

When Birding editor Ted Floyd and host Nate Swick did their first Birding Without Tears episode a few weeks ago they were called to the carpet by the fact that we were only telling half of the story. Ted and Nate are both birding dads and our experiences are similar but not exactly like, those of birding moms, and there's no better time to revisit this topic than during our Nesting Season Appeal anyway! To help tell the rest of the story, Nate is joined by Seattle-based writer Bryony Angell, who draws on her experience as a birding mom and her past as a birding kid to offer insight into a topic that many birders deal with at some point--"how do I get my kids to go birding and all of us have a good experience?"

Also, birding in the news! Recent articles in the New York Times and Outside Magazine cast birding in a positive light.

A listener asks for advice for a new birder. Can we help him out! Send us tips you wish you knew when you started at The ABA Blog, on Twitter or Facebook.

Thanks to episode sponsor, the Partnership for International Birding, combining 200 scheduled tours to destinations around the world with unmatched support for local bird conservation.

0:40.1	Hello and welcome to another episode of the American Birding podcast from the American
0:43.8	Birding Association. I'm your host Nate Swick and look, I know that the whole birding in
0:50.0	the mass media thing is a regular topic for me in this space. I can't help it. I find the way
0:56.4	that birders and birding are perceived by the general public and how that is sort of borne out
1:01.4	in the national non-burning, non-nature media, and especially how that has changed over the years
1:07.2	that I've been birding, but also sort of in the decades before that to be endlessly interesting.
1:13.9	So there were a couple new inclusions
1:15.4	to that milieu in the last month or so
1:18.2	that are probably worth noting.
1:20.0	And they both betrayed birding in a really positive light.
1:23.0	And in one case, birding is shown as this means
1:25.6	of achieving goodwill and community
1:27.2	among lots of
