It's the end of December and the end of 2020, and the This Month in Birding crew takes a broader look at the month and the year that was and looks forward to a brighter 2021 in birds. Host Nate Swick is joined this week by The Birdist Nick Lund, co-host of the Bird Sh*t podcast Mo Stych, and host of Topic's Birds of North America Jason Ward to talk about the eBirdification of birding, whether seeing birds is the same as getting a raise, weird bird noses, and what we loved about 2020, a year that had a lot to offer despite, well, you know.
