The ABA Blog is Dead; Long Live The ABA Blog!

The ABA Blog launched all the way back in 2010 in a time of intense transition at the organization. Over the intervening decade it has been an integral part of the American Birding Association’s outreach strategy, providing an opportunity to learn about field marks and rare birds, to hear from our staff and friends, and to organize conservation initiatives.

But the internet is a different place these days and media consumption has changed. The characteristics that have defined “blogs” have largely been subsumed by social media. It’s time for a change.

The ABA Blog will be archived at the end of the month. Starting in January 2020, we will be doing something different.

First, do not panic! The content that you have enjoyed this last decade is not going anywhere. You’ll still hear from all of us. We are integrating everything that you have come to enjoy into the main ABA website. So Birding Book Reviews, the American Birding Podcast, Ted Floyd’s How to Know the Birds; all of it will be found in a prominent place at www.aba.org, frequently in its own special portal. And yes, you can subscribe to the entire feed just like you did before. You can even comment like you did before (and we encourage that!).

Join the American Birding Association at www.aba.org!
