Summary

It’s time for the American Birding Podcast Birding Book Club and host Nate Swick welcomes bird media reviewers Frank Izaguirre from the ABA’s Birding magazine and Donna Schulman from the website 10,000 Birds to talk family specific guides. What are those, you might ask. We'll chat about identification guides or reference books that focus specifically on one group of birds, frequently, though not always strictly speaking, a family as defined taxonomically. Shorebirds, warblers, raptors, and birds-of-paradise are on the agenda.

Thanks to Buteo Books for sponsoring this episode. You can find every one of these titles at their online store and ABA members receive at 10% discount on every purchase.

For a list of all the books we discuss in this episode, please see the American Birding Podcast website.

0:45.5	As always, I'm your host, Nate Swick.
0:56.8	Some of you might remember back in the spring when in this COVID-inspired funk I talked about fantasy birding and the Yards squad, the local birding competition that I was part of with fellow ABA staff and board.
1:03.0	We finished a gentleman's second to last.

1:25.7	living in the southeast means that I get all the migrants before
1:31.5	the rest of my team. So it was sort of satisfying to know that I'd be seeing warblers and I
1:37.8	would be adding them to my team's list about a week before all my teammates further north. It made me feel very necessary, very important
