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 birds of the world.org.

Hello and welcome to the American Birding Podcast from the American Birding Association.

I'm Nate Swick.

We did not expect to do a show this week.

I was going to take the week off, but my friend and regular podcast guest, you probably know her.

Jordan Rudder came to me with an idea.

She said, I should interview you, she said, for a special four-year anniversary thing,

which just so happens to be the 44th episode that we put out in the year 2020, which is pretty

crazy if you think about. Anyway, we did it. That's the

episode for today. We took questions from Twitter and Jordan asked all of them, but I made the

executive decision to cut a few for length. So I am sorry in advance if yours was removed. I will come

back and address them all on twitter uh otherwise this

episode would have been like an hour and a half long and that's that's really the sort of thing

that we want to save for members only content in 2021 joking joking anyway i won't keep you no redbirds this time we'll catch up on that in the new

year here's jordan rudder first of all we made it through 2020 we did is yay that's something i guess
