Listen "08-33: Take It or Leave It - Banding, eBird, and Taxonomy"
Episode Synopsis
Break out the oven mitts because it's time to welcome a panel of birders to tackle the hottest birding takes we can find in Take It or Leave It. This time around we welcome ABA colleagues Michael Retter, editor of Birding special editions and North American Birds, and Jennie Duberstein, wildlife biologist and ABA Young Birder liaison to offer opinions on the scope of bird banding, eBird's tightrope between bird science and listing repository, and whether or not having multiple bird taxonomies is a good thing. Also, a major bird mortality event leads to real changes on Chicago's lakefront. Thanks to our friends at FeatherSnap for sponsoring this episode.
