Summary

Long-time bird blog fans might remember Clare Kines and his blog The House and other Arctic Musings. It was was a familiar voice on the birding internet, with stories about the nature of Arctic Bay, Nunavut, on Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic. Clare is still out there as a birder and photographer sharing stories and images of a part of the world we don’t get to see very often, and he joins Nate Swick to talk about his home north of the Arctic Circle.

0:00.0	I think we all know the pedigree of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology when it comes to bird
0:03.9	resources. And we at the ABA are excited to partner with the Cornell Lab of O to offer an
0:08.7	amazing deal exclusive to ABA members. ABA members can now get a 15% discount to any new
0:14.2	subscription to Cornell's amazing new Birds of the World resource that is applicable for three years.

0:27.9	birders can answer all their life history questions for every species of bird they could want.

0:46.0	Hello and welcome to the American Birding Podcast from the American Birding Association.
0:49.5	I am Nate Swick, your host.
0:54.0	I hope this episode finds you well, maybe a little hopeful.
0:59.7	I want to start off with a little bit of a brag or maybe just, you know, catching up on an episode from a month or so ago.
1:01.1	You might remember if you are a regular listener back when Frank Zagiri and Donna Shulman

1:26.0	been remedied. I did get my copy from Beautyo Books. It had been back-ordered for a few weeks. Let me tell you, I would still put it on my list. In fact, I would actually move it up my list. That is no slight to the other authors I included. Those top five lists are typically very
1:46.2	fluid anyway, but all the things that Donna and Frank said about it were so obviously true
