About this listen

This week, Frank and Sammy dive into the weedy world of bird taxonomy! Why did the AOS split the Warbling Vireo into two different species? What is a species? Why are Golden-winged and Blue-winged Warblers still considered separate species even though they hybridize so much? Frank and Sammy answer all of that and more!
