    • 10-07: The Nature of Nutcrackers with Peri Sasnett
      Feb 19 2026

      One of the most iconic and beloved birds of the North American west is the Clark's Nutcracker, the highlight of anyone's trip to the high country. It will come as no surprise to anyone that the bird's relationship to the ecosystem goes beyond begging for trail mix from hikers, a fascinating symbiosis that was recently the topic of Glacier National Park's Headwaters podcast, whose host, Peri Sasnett, joins us to talk nutcrackers and conservation.

      This interview previously ran in August 2022.

      Also, Nate is keynoting at the Black Belt Birding Festival this summer!

    • 10-06: How to Make a Meadowlark with Johanna Beam
      Feb 12 2026

      In 2023, ABA Area birders welcomed Chihuahuan Meadowlark to the official ABA Checklist, and subsequently to many life lists. Previously considered a distinct subspecies of Eastern Meadowlark, the split was the result of work done by Dr. Johanna Beam while she was an undergraduate researcher. Informed by her background as a birder, Johanna used museum specimens, audio recordings, and genetic tools to inform the eventual split. She joins host Nate Swick to talk about how it's done, and what other potential new species might be out there.

      Also, the ABA announced our 2026 Community Weekend schedule. We hope to see you out there!

      Birding editor Ted Floyd returns for another episode of random birds. This time around, the random number generator wants passerines, and Ted and host Nate Swick must oblige. We cover the ABA's Bird of the Year for 2026, and a number of other grassland species.

      Also, the ABA Checklist Committee's recent update suggests a new direction for the ABA Checklist, at least partially.
