Spot polar bears and scan for puffins in Norway, sip wine and watch the photo dancers world

to Portugal's traditional music after observing great busters in the rolling fields. Tread lightly

on a camping trip through Kenya's, savannas, and forests discover New Zealand's many endemics

or marvel at Australia's prehistoric cassowaries while learning about Aboriginal history and dream time.

With all for birding, travel is larger than lifers.

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

I am your host, Nate Swick.

We've reached the end of the first month of

26. I hope you're all hanging in there. And with it comes another edition of this month in

birding, our monthly roundtable discussion about birds and birding. And I hope it finds you in a

place where you can enjoy some pleasant birding chatter perhaps as a distraction

for all the stuff that's the thing about birding that is so important i think a lot of hobbies

encourage disconnection you know and that's not a slight who among us doesn't enjoy a little

brain off vegging from time to time?

I certainly do.

But burning is different.

It's hyper-connectivity.

It's engaging in the present, but in a way that feels positive instead of overwhelming.

It's a cooling balm on the burn of the news cycle in a world atomized by social media.

It encourages refocus, not defocus.

I'm not entirely sure it is a real word, but I think you know what I'm saying.
