04-35: This Month in Birding - October 2020

It’s the last Thursday in October and that means This Month in Birding, wherein we convene a august panel of birders to discuss the news that we missed this month, or more likely saved till the end of the month because they’re more fun to talk about with other people.

The panel this week is, for the first time, all returnees, including #cemeterybirder Danielle Belleny, Birdmodo creator Ryan Mandelbaum, and Popular Science writer Purbita Saha. 

Topics discussed include:

New Duck Stamp Rules put in place

Cassia Crossbills at risk from wildfires

Massive finch movement this winter

Cemetery Birding is the new hot thing

Gynandromorph grosbeak found

Eastern Black Rails put on Endangered Species List
