Summary

Birding editor Ted Floyd and host Nate Swick try something a little different this time around. They went birding, each in their respective neighborhoods, and come back together to talk about it. Join them as they wend their way through sparrows, crows, and Bushtits of their homes, with a detour into gannets and gulls (which neither saw). It's birding, annotated.

And in case you wanted to follow along, here's Ted's checklist from Lafayette, Colorado, and here's Nate's from Greensboro, North Carolina.

Plus, congratulations to our 2021 ABA Young Birders of the Year, Katie Warner of Vancouver, Washington, and Joaquin Galindo of McAllen, Texas!

0:03.9	resources. And we at the ABA are excited to partner with the Cornell Lab of O to offer an

0:41.7	Music get more information at berths of the world.org. Hello and welcome to the American Birding Podcast from the American Birding Association.
0:45.3	I'm your host, Nate Swick.
0:46.8	This weekend is the spring change to daylight savings time, otherwise known as my favorite time
0:52.6	to be a birder.
0:55.9	Not necessarily the best time for birding, but my favorite time to be a birder. Not necessarily best time for birding,
1:00.0	but my favorite time to be a birder. There's a difference there. I'll explain. Everyone loves the fallback because you get that extra hour of sleep. But I'm a huge fan of the spring forward
1:05.4	because for that brief and glorious two or three weeks once your body address, but before the days start lengthening,
1:14.4	it is actually the easiest time to get up at sunrise for birding. I recall a time, I don't know,
1:22.2	10 years ago now, I actually planned a birding trip around daylight savings time or planned it around the
1:29.1	arrival of daylight saving time because the relationship between the sunrise and my alarm
1:35.3	was actually perfect because the sun, the sun really didn't rise until 8 o'clock a.m. instead of
1:43.2	the usual 6.30, 7 o'clock a.m. start time that you usually
1:48.5	see. Anyway, I felt like I was nailing it. I was getting out before dawn every day, at least until
