Description

Recording and identifying nocturnal flight calls has been a popular way for birders in the ABA Area to document migration, and has inspired an entire community to keep track of those tseep and chips passing overhead this time of year. The COVID-19 pandemic and stay at home orders all over the world have motivated a similar passion in the famously intense UK birding community, and birders recording and documenting Noc-Mig, as it’s called, have made some fascinating discoveries about migration in Europe. Naturalist Mark James Pearson of Yorkshire, UK, is a relatively recent convert and he joins host Nate Swick to talk about it.  Also, the Endangered Species Act is under threat in the Senate, and birders should keep their eyes open for proposed changes.  Thanks to Field Guides for sponsoring this episode. Check out their new video series, Out Birding with Field Guides.
