include adventure, conversations with fascinating bird people, and field pointers.

Remember, even when you're at home, you can always go outburning with field guides.

Join the fun at outburning.com slash aBA hello and welcome to the american birding podcast from the american

birding association i'm your host nate swick i'm back i'm back in my trusty home studio slash office slash guestroom with my real

recording tools and whatnot. Quasi rested, quasi refreshed from my quasi vacation. Do you want

updates? I'll give you some updates. I dipped on the rough-legged hawk at Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge twice,

which is par for the course for that species at that place. It is not the first time I have

missed rough-legged hawk there. And if I'm being honest, probably not the last time either.

But I did have some luck. I spotted North Carolina's fourth record of McGillivray's Warbler near the

house from my family was staying. You might note that I thought I might have jinxed myself last week

by predicting something like this. I did not, thankfully. The whole thing is sort of a cool story

that I will tell next week, because this week's episode is already longer

than it usually is. So stay tuned for that. Bear with me. I hope you can hold out for one more

week. But I will make a note that y'all know that I'm a bird names for birds guy, not a fan

of the eponymic names, especially not a fan of McGillivory, not necessarily

for anything he did, but because it is a name that is unbelievably obnoxious to have to text

to friends to the Rare Bird group me chat, to the listserv once the word got out.

I'm already a terrible typist.

I'm even worse on my phone and Siri is no
