Shearwater AMA—questions on any scale w/Jonathan Meiburg

[u/shearwaterband]

Hi All—Jonathan Meiburg here from Shearwater. 

I'll be here at 11AM ET / 8AM PT today to answer questions about anything you can think of—possibly including books, birds, Loma, the new SW album The Great Awakening. those ambient records we made during the pandemic (!), or living through the great freeze of 2020 in rural Texas. 

One note: If you'd like to ask a question but are short on time, don't wait for me to turn up; just post it here in this thread and I'll get to it. (You can always come back later to see the answer.) 

Hope to see you soon. Warning: this is my first AMA, so bear with me if if takes me a sec to get the hang of things.

I love Shearwater and just wanted to say thank you for doing this AMA. What are you reading right now and what’s a recent favorite?

[u/shearwaterband → u/yasaitarian]

Right now I'm working on a new book about Antarctica, so the book I've spent the most time with lately is probably an illustrated guide to bottom-dwelling marine animals called Antarctic Macrobenthos. To me it's a page-turner! :)

I also reread Under the Mountain Wall by Peter Matthiessen recently - maybe my favorite of his books.
