Summary

Birds are everywhere. They are in your movies and TV shows, on your sports team logos, even in your Google Street View. There is no shortage of ways that your interest in birds can manifest itself beyond time in the field. Maybe no one knows that better than Nick Lund. Nick is The Birdist on his own blog of that name and on social media, a frequent contributor to National Audubon and Ray Brown’s Talking Birds and works in outreach with Maine Audubon. He joins me to talk about birds in non-bird places, what he calls “Birds at Large”.

Also, I have enough correspondence to do a mailbag! And I talk a little about the new AOS Taxonomy proposals, which you can learn more about here.

0:39.2	began, a project that was a long time in the making and it has come to you every other week
0:45.0	since. That is a great source of pride to me personally that we haven't missed an episode yet,
0:50.3	even if I haven't been able to be a part of every single one. As I said, around this time last year, it is immensely gratifying to hear from you all about

1:12.5	the reach of the American Burning Podcast, and to be clear, I'm not sure that this is really evidence
1:17.4	of our vast reach, but I'm just going to take it anyway because no one else has. Take a look at the
1:21.4	first batch of taxonomic proposals sent to the American Ornithological Society's Classification Committee,
1:27.1	which is, of course, the group of ornithologists who make decisions on splits, lumps,
1:31.3	names, and whose decisions we eagerly await every summer.
1:35.7	The first batch of proposals for 2019 came out earlier this year and includes some stuff that
