slash aBA hello welcome to another episode of the american birding podcast from the american

birding association i am nate swick in any normal non-pandemic year this would be the week of the rio grande valley

birding festival one of the two or three biggest events on the north american burning calendar

and one that the aBA has been involved in since just about the beginning like so many things it was canceled but here here's the fun part

they are doing an online festival which okay you've heard this before but you might remember last

year we did a live podcast taping and turned it into an episode it was in, in fact, a more or less blatant to rip

off of the NPR quiz asked me another, but it was fun. You can listen to it back in the archives.

We're doing something similar this time around, though, distantly, obviously. ABA president,

Jeff Gordon, is hosting Harlingen Squares.

If you remember Hollywood Squares, it's like that, but about birds.

If you're too young to remember Hollywood Squares, ask your grandparents.

So this game features birding luminaries as the squares, and by that I mean, Jason Ward, Jeff Bouton, Clay Taylor, Hannah and Eric from the Hannah and by that i mean jason ward jeff bouton clay taylor hannah and eric from the hannah and

eric go birding podcast mary gustafson me i am a square i mean you probably guessed that already i do

host a birding podcast but i mean actually one of the real squares in the game.

And the best part, it is free.

All their stuff is free this year.

So you don't have to be in Harlingen to enjoy it.
