Why do birders love Tallahassee Florida so much? Simple. Because so many beautiful birds love Tallahassee,

located on two migratory pathways, Florida's capital city is one of the top birding locations in the

country. And with nearly a dozen sites on the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail, you can't turn

around without spotting another life bird to check off your list. And once you put your binoculars down

for the day, Tallahasse's world-class culinary scene and comfortable accommodations will have you rested and

ready to do it all over again. Learn more at visit tallahassee.com.

Hello and welcome to the American Birding Podcast from the American Birding Association.

I am your host, Nate Swick.

It is the end of September.

So if you're keeping track, that means it is time for this month in birding.

We'll jump right into that panel discussion.

But first, I do want to, you know, offer a reminder if you enjoy chatting about bird identification.

You can join my ABA colleague Greg Nees and me every other

week on the ABA's social media feeds for What's This Bird Live. I don't know that I've ever

really promoted it much here. There's a little bit of overlap between people who listen to the

podcast and people who watch What's This Bird Live. Anyway, you might know that the ABA maintains

a couple Facebook discussion groups, one of which is sort of a crowdsourced bird identification

community. It's called What's This Bird? Greg and I pop on there every two weeks to chat about

some of the more interesting identification questions that get posed there. We'll be on this week.

That will be September 30th, if you listen to this podcast on the day

that it is released. We go live at 1 p.m. Eastern Time, 12 Central. Check it out if you like this week.

We'd love to see you there. To the Timib panel this month in burning, it's old friends Jody
