About this episode
Birding editor Ted Floyd returns for another episode of random birds. This time around, the random number generator wants passerines, and Ted and host Nate Swick must oblige. We cover the ABA's Bird of the Year for 2026, and a number of other grassland species. Also, the ABA Checklist Committee's recent update suggests a new direction for the ABA Checklist, at least partially.
