08-50: It's Bird-Friendly Chocolate Season with Bryony Angell

Roughly a quarter of chocolate sales in the US and the UK occur around the holidays at the end of the year. And if you are listening to this podcast, you are statistically almost certain to be participating. What does that have to do with birds? Well, like coffee before it, chocolate now comes in a bird friendly version. It's the subject of a recent article in Birdwatcher's Digest by Bryony Angell a Washington based birder and writer on birding culture. She joins us to talk about what that certification means for birds and chocolate-lovers alike. 

Also, congratulations to the full slate of 2024 ABA Awards recipients and thanks for all you do for the birding community.
