Winging It 19-04

The new issue of Winging It, the newsletter of the American Birding Association, is on its way to the printer, and it’s a good one. Michael Schwitters has an exciting article on birding Shemya, in the outer Aleutians. ABA news includes member milestones, reports from the ABA/Leica Tropicbirds youth big-day teams, photos of the 2007 ABA Award recipients, and a piece on Birders’ Exchange’s efforts in Haiti.

 From the field, Will Russell ponders Big Sits, Malkolm Boothroyd updates us on his family’s fossil-fuel-free Bird Year, and the “Sightings” column includes some major rarities this time around. Reports on birding and conservation reach from Colombia to Maine.

And the Classifieds are your best source for information on tours, equipment, accommodation, and upcoming events.

Now on to the next issue, September/October!
