Happening NOW: North American Birds Changes are Upon Us

Mid-summer is well upon us. Post-breeding dispersal is underway at this writing and shorebird migration has begun, while rarities continue to pepper the North American continent. These have ranged from local notables to the mind-numbingly exciting Antillean Palm-Swift in Florida. There are a great number of exhilarating and worthy avian topics for this installment of “Happening NOW,” but I’m here to tell you that we’ve got a quite different subject to discuss this week. We’re going to talk about what is happening NOW with the journal North American Birds. And although this topic might be slightly less thrilling than reading about palm-swifts and grassquits on the Florida Keys, it is still an important and worthwhile read.
