05-20: Bird Policy Updates and Freedom Birders with Tykee James  
Podcast: The American Birding Podcast
Published On: Thu May 20 2021
Description: In the United States, we're over 100 days into a new administration and five months into a new Congress, and our elected officials have been busy with some interesting environmental policies and legislation in that time. Interestingly, many of them impact birds. To chat about it, we bring back to the podcast, Tykee James, host of the On Word for Wildlife podcast from the Wildlife Observer Network. Tykee lays out what birders should be paying attention to, and talks about his new project, Freedom Birders.  Plus, another Pileated Woodpecker story from Christy Esmahan in Austin, Texas, and a wild Wall Street Journal article about threatening Bald Eagles.  Thanks to Field Guides for sponsoring this episode.
