We at the ABA are big fans of the growing birding podcast scene and one of the more interesting ones out now is Your Bird Story, which focuses on everyday people’s experiences with birds in cities. The host of Your Bird Story, Dr. Georgia Silvera Seamens, is is, among other things, the director of Washington Square Park Eco Projects, an urban and community forester, and one the co--organizer of Black Botanists Week. She joins us to talk about collecting bird stories from everyone and the importance of wild places in urban spaces.  Also, Nate is back from Florida wowed by Swallow-tailed Kites and Pileated Woodpeckers.  Help support the ABA and the American Birding Podcast by contributing to our Nesting Season Appeal.
