In The Bird Banter Podcast Episode #10 host Ed Pullen and John Sterling talk about John's remarkable birding career, and especially his recent participation in the Longzhou Bird Race in southern China.  Oh, I neglected to mention that John Sterling is the #1 lister in California, with a remarkable 636 species on eBird.  Enjoy.
