Back in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas

*NOTE* We briefly discuss the recent news regarding the elimination of eponyms in bird names.  We want to remind all our listeners that we are not experts on this topic and this is a complex issue.  We do feel very strongly that all birders should always feel and be included in the birding community and that as a community, we should strive to increase inclusion and equity in a diversity of ways.It's November again, which means it's time for the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival!  We were able to get down a bit early this time and do some scouting and spend time soaking up the birds before the fest started.Main Story Begins at: 20:35Show notesBuy me a CoffeeBirding is the World Brazil tripSpring ChirpRio Grande Valley Birding Festival San Diego Bird FestivalAOS English names for birdsBirdaPlaces we mention:Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife RefugeSabal Palm SanctuaryResaca de la Palma State ParkValley Nature CenterSanta Ana National Wildlife RefugeEstero Llano Grande State ParkLa PlayaeBird Trip Report:https://ebird.org/tripreport/170474Birds mentioned:LimpkinAmerican Flamingo Blue Bunting Intro Bird Call:  Long-billed Thrasher (Recorded: Cameron County, Texas November 2023) Outro Bird Call: Great Kiskadee (Recorded: Cameron County, Texas November 2023) Connect with us at...IG: @Hannahgoesbirding and @Erikgoesbirding Twitter: @WeGoBirding Facebook: @HannahandErikGoBirding Email us at [email protected] Website: http://www.gobirdingpodcast.comSupport the showConnect with us at...IG: @Hannahgoesbirding and @ErikgoesbirdingFacebook: @HannahandErikGoBirdingEmail us at [email protected]: http://www.gobirdingpodcast.comVenmo: @hannahanderikgobirdingGet a discount at Buteo Books using code: BIRDNERDBOOKCLUB
