Giveaway – The Birds of Panama: A Field Guide

The Birds of Panama: A Field Guide, by George R. Angehr and Robert Dean, is a very nice guide to the incredible birds found in Panama. If I’m ever lucky enough to bird there, it will always be on my person.

Want a copy for free? Then join the American Birding Association (or renew if you’re already a member). The first person to forward me proof of joining gets the book. Just email me the confirmation email from the ABA (with any payment information removed, of course). For it to count, you need to join/renew after this is posted on my site.

Why the ABA? I’ve been a member for a while now, and feel strongly that they have something to offer any North American birder – beginner to expert. Right now, that’s mostly in the form of their wonderful publications. But I also believe they have a strong potential to advocate for birders. For them to do that, though, they need members. The organization has been in a rough patch recently, but they seem to be headed in the right direction now under the leadership of a new president.

A tip of the hat to the Birdchick podcast for planting the idea for this in my head.
