Hello, welcome again to the American Burning Podcast from the American Burning Association.

this month in burning schedule or rather maybe last month in burning but released this month. Look,

I'm sure you all manage. We'll get you over there shortly. But I want to remind all of our

of spring migrants I will see during those few days in Ohio will be as it typically is mind-boggling.

Spring birding is sort of funny because it all happens so fast and it does feel like you can miss it

if the big migration day or days happens on some random Tuesday.

And as such, you know, there are only a few places in the ABA area where you can be

almost guaranteed to have an exceptional spring birding experience. And Northwest Ohio is one of

those places. I can't wait. Hopefully I'll see you there. So let's get down to the business part

of the episode, the April this month in birding in May featuring Gabriel Foley, Frank Isagiri, and Perbita Saha.
