Summary

What better way to spend a random Thursday in June than with a random number generator and a random list of birds? As he does from time to time, the ABA's Birding magazine editor Ted Floyd joins host Nate Swick for another round of Random Birds. This time the list has a strongly cosmopolitan bent, and Nate and Ted discuss birds that can be enjoyed, for the most part, not just around the continent, but in some cases around the world.

Don’t forget to donate to the ABA’s Nesting Season Appeal, which raises money for our excellent young birder programs.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Hannah Floyd, editor of the fledgling and contributor to Birding magazine and co-leader for ABA Community Weekends.
0:09.0	The Fledgling is an ABA publication that's produced, written, and edited entirely by ABA Young Birders.
0:15.0	Through this publication, young people share our writing, photography, birding tips, and ways to better our communities through birding.
0:21.5	There is so much talent in the young burner community, and this is just one of the ways ABA
0:25.6	helps us showcase this.
0:27.3	We rely on supporters like you to make sure we can continue to produce world-class publications
0:31.6	like The Fledgling, showing the many ways birding inspires art and writing and helps build

0:37.4	Please give a gift today to ensure

1:05.5	Hello and welcome to the American Birding podcast from the American Birding Association.
1:08.1	I am your host, Nate Swick.
1:13.0	I don't often catch up on long-staying rare birds on this podcast. There are certainly enough new ones every week to keep us looking forward. But it's also pretty
1:17.9	uncommon for rare birds to stick around for exceptionally long periods of time. We certainly
1:24.8	consider ourselves lucky if a rare bird sticks around for a day, let alone
1:29.2	weeks or months, all of them eventually move on or pass on, which is not uncommon for a bird
1:35.2	in an unfamiliar place. But years, that is unprecedented. So it was with no small bit of
1:42.4	surprise that I saw news this week about the Stellars Sea Eagle that first made news three years ago now after wandering around eastern Canada and New England.
1:51.9	You may or may not be surprised to learn that it is still present on the island of Newfoundland, north of St. John, seen as recently as the 10th of June, your old Bonaventure
2:02.5	and Trinity, and that the newest report sees the sea eagle actually building a nest,
