The ABA is gearing up to announce its 2023 Bird of the Year but we're not ready to say good-bye to the year of the Burrowing Owl just yet. With that in mind, we welcome Colleen Wisinski and Susanne Marczak of the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance's Burrowing Owl Recovery Program to talk about their efforts to protect the local population of Burrowing Owls and what they've learned about the species in doing so.

Also, Nate is back from a great Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival.
