Birding Editor Ted Floyd returns for another episode of “Random Birds.” This time around, the random number generator wants passerines of open-country habitats, and Ted and host Nate Swick must oblige. Ted and Nate riff on the 2026 ABA Bird of the Year and several other grassland species.
Also, the ABA Checklist Committee’s recent update suggests a new direction for the ABA Checklist, at least partially.
