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 birdsof the world.org.

Hello and welcome to the American Birding podcast from the American Burding Association. I am

Nate Swick. It is the end of February, and that means this month in birding. But before I

send you off to that conversation, a little ABA housekeeping. You might know that we offer an

extensive travel program to locations both within the ABA area and beyond. We have a full

slate in 2024, including Newfoundland, Borneo, Dominican Republic, and others. But we also

have a couple more immediate openings for interested

birders, and we're just putting the word out if you want to join us later this spring.

We'll be in Belize at the end of March. Belize is a fantastic destination for birders who are

perhaps first-time visitors to the neotropics, lots of amazing birds, but not so overwhelming.

Also, you'll probably see a lot

of neotropic migrants making their way north and March. That's always a lot of fun. And in early

April, we'll be in Hawaii, searching for some of those critically endangered Hawaiian forest birds

on the islands of Oahu, Kauai, and the Big Island, and supporting conservation efforts there

through Pacific Rim Conservation
