What do an Eastern Meadowlark from North America and a Yellow-Throated Longclaw from Africa have in common? More than you’d think! 🐦 In our 'Field Trip', Dr. John Bates reveals how these two distant species evolved to look almost identical — an incredible example of convergent evolution in nature.

We love to show people birds in the collections. It's one of the funnest things we do. John giving a tour like this was at the genesis of our podcast. Amanda and RJ went on one of these tours and were awed by the specimens (and John). The rest is 100+ episodes later. @birdsofafeatherpod.bsky.social
