07-26: This Month in Birding - June 2023

It's the end of June and that means it's time for This Month in Birding, where we round up a panel of interesting and thoughtful birding friends to round up the latest birding news from around the ABA Area and beyond. Here in the northern hemisphere, June has the longest days of the year, and we might just have the longest episode of the podcast with the sort of items we have to discuss today. We welcome Gabriel Foley, Sean Milnes, and Mo Stych of the newly resurrected Bird Sh*t podcast to talk about bird names, bird songs, and bird theft.  Links to topics discussed in this episode: Bird names as critical communication infrastructure in the contexts of history, language, and culture. When birds sing the same pitch they avoid singing at the same time Atmospheric pressure predicts probability of departure for migratory songbirds Hiding Seeds?
