February is the shortest month, but thankfully our end-of-the-month roundtable discussion is long on fun and insight. This installment of This Month in Birding (TMIB) brings together Jason Hall, Mikko Jimenez, and Sarah Swanson to discuss birds and plants, whether birds can be illegal immigrants, and our favorite avian romantic gestures. Plus, in a TMIB first, Mikko brings his own science to the discussion.
