I think we all know the pedigree of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology when it comes to bird

resources. And we at the ABA are excited to partner with the Cornell Lab of O to offer an

amazing deal exclusive to ABA members. ABA members can now get a 15% discount to any new

subscription to Cornell's amazing new Birds of the World resource that is applicable for three

years. Birds of the World is a powerful resource

that brings deep scholarly content from four celebrated works of Ornithology into a single

platform where birders can answer all their life history questions for every species of bird they

could want. It is extraordinary. You can get more information at birdsof the world.org.

Hello. and get more information at birds of the world.org. Hello and welcome to the American Birding Podcast from the American Birding Association.

I'm your host, Nate Swick.

Before I throw into what is a really fun conversation for this month's, this month in birding,

I want to thank all of the new

listeners that we have had these days and I let you know about some other stuff that the ABA

is doing in these Corona times that you might be interested in. So if you were a newer

birder and you're looking at getting plugged into your local community, which is absolutely

something I would encourage

you to do. Local bird clubs and Audubon chapters are great ways to meet people in your area,

but monthly meetings are on hold right now, unfortunately, pretty much across the U.S. and

Canada. So we at the ABA have created a virtual bird club hosted by yours truly every other Wednesday at 8 p.m.

Eastern time where we bring in a guest speaker and do a live presentation on the ABA's

social media channels so you can find those on Facebook, on Twitter, or on YouTube if you

are so inclined.
