09-19: The Birding Dictionary with Rosemary Mosco

from The American Birding Podcast

When a person gets into birding they are not only confronted with a wide variety of wonderful and weird organisms but an equally wide variety of wonderful and weird terminology and jargon. It's enough to confuse even the most enthusiastic novice, but hankfully, bird cartoonist Rosemary Mosco of Bird and Moon is on the case with a new book called The Birding Dictionary. This very funny addition to the birding lexicon features definitions for everything from adorbler to zygodactyl illustrated with Rosemary's wonderful illustrations and she joins us to chat about the language of birders.  Plus, let us know if you'll be at Biggest Week and want to participate in the American Birding Podcast bird quiz!
