Summary

It's Canada Day and this week sees an all Canada special episode of the American Birding Podcast, a tip of the cap to our friends in the northern part of the ABA Area. The Canada panel consists of some birders from across the country and features voices that podcast regulars probably recognize.

From St, John’s, Newfoundland, we welcome Bird the Rock’s Jared Clarke. From Drumheller, Alberta (by way of Ontario) is
Birds Canada's Jody Allair. And from Richmond, British Columbia, it's wildlife biologist and keeper of the BC Rare Bird Alert, Melissa Hafting. We talk about the amazing birding opportunities found across the country and the special conservation issues unique to Canada.

0:00.0	Hello, this is Ted Floyd. I am the editor of the American Birding Association's Birding Magazine,
0:06.3	and I've been out birding for much of the past week. This is my favorite time of the year
0:11.5	with the nesting season in high gear. It's also my favorite time of the year because I get to
0:16.8	interact so extensively right now with young birders at ABA teen birding camps, in connection
0:23.0	with the ABA Young Birder of the Year program, and simply out in the field enjoying birds
0:27.9	and nature together. This is also the time of the year when the ABA kicks into its nesting season
0:34.0	appeal, an urgent mid-year campaign to raise money for all our young birder programs
0:39.8	as well as the many public services like this podcast, which require funding beyond basic
0:46.0	memberships. To contribute to the nesting season appeal, please donate online at aBA.org
0:54.0	slash give or call us at 800-850-2473 and give what you can.
1:02.8	Programming at the ABA is highly cost-efficient and your donation will go directly to resources
1:08.4	for young birders and the whole community of people who care
1:11.9	about birds and birding. Again, that website is aBA.org slash give, and the phone number is
1:19.9	800-850-2473. Thank you for ensuring a bright future for birds and for birders and good birding to all of you.
1:34.3	Hello and welcome to the American Burning Podcast from the American Birding Association.
1:38.3	I am Nate Swick. It is July 1st, if you're listening to this on the day that it drops, the day the northern part of the ABA area celebrates Canada Day.
1:48.4	And with that in mind, we have brought to you a panel with some excellent Canadian birders from different parts of the country to talk about the birds and the birding opportunities there.
1:59.1	I am excited to share that with you. But I do
2:02.1	want to make a quick acknowledgement that for many of our Canadian friends, this Canada Day is
2:08.1	a bit more somber, a bit more reflective than it has been in the past. Canada has been undergoing
2:14.1	a bit of a national reckoning due to the discoveries of thousands of unmarked graves of children
2:19.8	at a number of former indigenous residential schools in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba so far.
