Summary
Several years ago, birding dads Ted Floyd and Nate Swick recorded their first Birding Without Tears episode, but they told only half the story. What about birding moms?? To help tell the rest of the story, I'm joined by Seattle-based writer Bryony Angell, who draws on her experience as a birding mom and her past as a birding kid to offer insight into a topic that many birders deal with at some point–"how do I get my kids to go birding and all of us have a good experience?"
Also, Nate talks Panama. Wanna travel with the ABA? Check out our 2023 lineup.

| 0:33.2 | Hello and welcome to the American Birding Podcast from the American Birding Association. I am your host, Nate Swick, and I am back from Panama, where I was traveling with a group of podcast fans. |
| 0:43.6 | Well, I imagine they would have to be if they went all the way to Panama with me. And as you |
| 0:48.7 | might expect, it was a pretty freaking amazing trip. First, though, I want to thank my ABA colleague and friend Frank is a Geary for covering for |
| 0:58.2 | me last week. |
| 0:59.2 | He did a great job. |
| 1:00.2 | So good, in fact, that I will probably lean on him again in the future. |
| 1:05.2 | Sorry, not sorry. |

| 1:08.2 | I've been to the Neotropics a handful of times before. |
| 1:11.6 | This was easily one of my best experiences, not least of which because I shared it with a bunch of fun people. |
| 1:17.4 | And for many of them, this was their very first time in the tropics, and based on their reactions, I suspect it will not be the last. |
| 1:24.0 | We certainly did it up. |
| 1:25.6 | We started at Canopy Tower, one of the iconic ecologes in the American |
| 1:29.5 | tropics, maybe even the world. It is in the canal zone. In fact, you can see ships passing on |
