Winging It vol. 19, no. 1

The new Winging It went to the printer last week, and should be in members’ mailboxes and hands shortly. It’s an exciting issue, with a particularly notable article on Black Swifts in California and Washington. Got your attention?

The issue also includes pieces on birding India, Montana, Taiwan, and South Africa. Pete Dunne provides tips on improving your pishing performance, and the usual “Sightings” report is there, this time with photos of great rarities from Connecticut, Newfoundland, and Texas. You can’t say we don’t get around at the ABA!

“Books for Birders” discusses the latest publicatons of interest, and there is an especially thoughtful piece on the importance of mentors and tradition by Nate Dias (who can trace his own birding ‘pedigree’ to Bachman!). Classifieds, Milestones, and news of interest to ABA members: it’s all in there.

And if you’re not an ABA member, how come?!? Join us at www.americanbirding.org.
