It’s time for another This Month in Birding, this time for April, despite the fact that this episode technically comes out in May. That’s bonus for May rather than a loss for April. Listen to Gabriel Foley, Frank Izaguirre, and Purbita Saha chat with host Nate Swick this week: www.aba.org/72239-2/

Before April 20, there had never been a Cook County, Illinois, record for Mountain Bluebird, Sialia currucoides. But as of April 21, there are three. Chicago appears to be experiencing a Mountain Bluebird invasion. www.aba.org/mountain-blu...
