Summary

Days are short, weather is at or near its coldest, and it's easy to just suspend birding for a few months and wait for Spring. But that would be missing out on some truly great birding experiences, including Christmas Counts, which many birders consider to be a highlight of their year. We are currently in the middle of the CBC season host Nate Swick welcomes two birders who are no strangers to winter weather conditions, ABA Web Developer Greg Neise, of Chicago, Illinois, and Birding editor Ted Floyd of Boulder Colorado, to talk winter birding, Christmas Bird Counts, and more.

Thanks to everyone who made this year a great one. If you enjoy what we do here, please consider making a donation to the ABA's Year-End Appeal, or joining the ABA.

0:00.0	I'm Jeff Gordon, president of the American Birding Association and executive producer of this podcast.
0:05.8	Not only is the American Birding podcast celebrating its second birthday, the ABA itself is turning 50 in 2019.

0:28.3	bring you great things that birders enjoy and find useful and inspiring.
0:35.2	As a 501C3 nonprofit, donations large and small are absolutely critical to the ABA's survival and make all the difference in what we are able to do and provide
0:38.6	to you and the burning community. You can help by making a tax deductible donation at ABA.org

1:13.6	I'm your host, Nate Swick, and, you know, well, this is the last episode of 2018.

1:32.8	is much appreciated. And more, you know, if you enjoy this podcast and you've been considering
1:37.6	joining the ABA, I know you folks are out there, we offer an e-membership, an online membership alongside our standard
1:46.5	membership, is 30 bucks, which is about $2.50 a month, so not a ton of money. You get all the
1:53.1	benefits of membership of the ABA, except that you receive the publications online rather than in the
1:59.0	mail. So if you enjoy reading magazines on a tablet or on your laptop,
