Birdbrain

Today on the Here We Are podcast, I'm joined by Corina Newsome, who is an American ornithologist, birder, science communicator, and graduate student at Georgia Southern University. We talked about the racism that exists within the birding community. I explain why I think the bowerbird is the most ridiculous bird.
