We're continuing conversations with our listeners on the air as we share updates from our home fronts. We have lots of links to share this week!

• Check out Ed Yong's account of his recent pelagic experience with Alvaro's Adventures in his newsletter
• While you're at it, make sure to read An Immense World by Ed Yong
• We get tons of questions about thermal scopes. This article by one of our listeners, Jonathan Ley, is a thorough comparison of brands and models.
• Here's a fresh Certificate of Appreciation from the USGS to George for reporting a banded Ruddy Turnstone—on a birding trip with Mollee eight years ago!
• If you know a conservation or community science organization that wants to get the word out to birders, Nighthawk is partnering with the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival to display their information for free at the event. Details and sign up here.

And don't forget to share your favorite guests with us! We'd love to hear from you.
