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 Burning Association.

I am your host, Nate Swick.

I am excited this week to turn the whole episode over to two of the most interesting and

insightful people in the birding world, both the 2020 recipients of the ABA's Lifetime Achievement Award,

also known as the Roger Tori Peterson Award or the Tropic Bird. They are J.B. Brumfeld of

Cleveland, Ohio, and J. Drew Lanham of Clemson, South Carolina. They both have been on the podcast

before in different capacities,

but I was really excited to get them both together, and I think you'll see why in this episode.

We talked for a while and probably could have gone on longer. This is one of the longer episodes

of the American Birding podcast that we've ever put out. So I'm going to keep the stuff up here

short. Let's get on to the conversation about the state of birding, mentorship,

and what they love about where they live, among other things.

J.B. Brentfield and J. Drew Lanham after this week's very brief rare birds.
