Summary
Birders love bird books, and we at the American Birding Podcast love to get together to discuss bird books in the Birding Book Club segment. Donna Schulman from the website 10,000 Birds and Birding magazine's Frank Izaguirre join Nate Swick to talk about our favorite Bird and Birding Reference guides. It's a broad topic, but if you're looking for books to fill out your bird library, we're here to help.
For links to the books discussed on this episode, head to the ABA website.
