Description
We catch up on Christmas Bird Counts, some Swifty talk, landfill birding, and how with experience, identification becomes recognition, just like finding a good friend in a crowded room. George also recounts the American Birding Association's Bird of the Year Reveal Party — welcome, year of the Burrowing Owl! — and more on owls, including vocal evidence to separate the burrowing owl into species and how owls decorate their nests. And a Steller’s Ja-- no wait, Eagle! continues to make dramatic appearances around the continent, spurring George and Al to recount their experiences with these massive eagles in Japan. Plus, we offer a few last-minute Christmas gift ideas, including gifts for kids who are interested in birding. Highlight bird species: A few accipiters and falcons; Steller's Sea Eagles; and of course, Burrowing Owls!Locations mentioned: Hokkaido, Japan; Philly; various Christmas Bird Count locationsDon’t miss out: on ABA's field guides to California and Pennsylvania Send your topic ideas to lifelistpodcast@gmail.com
