On this episode I talk with Steve Hampton about his experience on the AOU Ad Hoc Committee on English names for birds, about climate change and the research on how it is affecting birds, about gulls in the Port Townsend area, his trip to Antarctica and more. 
You can find more about Steve and contact him on his professional website Stephen-Carr-Hampton.com
His blogs are The Cottonwood Post about birding and Memories of the People about issues related to indigenous peoples of the U.S. 
Here is a link to the official recommendations of the AOU ad hoc committee on English Bird names. 
We talked about so many things you may want to see more links and discussion on the Bird Banter Blog post. 
Thanks for listening.   Until next time good birding and good day.
