Bird Banter

Episode #4 of The Bird Banter Podcast with Christian Hagenlocher

Christian Hagenlocher is well known in the birding community after his 2016 ABA Big Year where, documented on his blog at The Birding Project http://www.thebirdingproject.com/

Christian has a book coming out in May 2019 at The Biggest Week in Birding Festival at Magee Marsh, where he is speaking and will be a trip leader.  

I think you'll find his birding story fascinating and enjoyable. Please leave a review and rating on your favorite podcast feed site.

Sorry to any expecting to hear about my Kenya Trip with James Bradley, as that interview fell through at the last minute. Maybe another time. 

See you soon with another episode.  Good birding.  Good day. 

The Bird Banter Podcast Episode #3 with Bruce LaBar

In this episode I talk with Bruce LaBar.  Bruce has the #1 lifelist of bird species seen in Washington State at 452 and in Pierce County 285. Lest you think Bruce is easing off he is currently the #1 eBird lister in both areas for 2019 too!

Westport Seabirds is the longest running database of pelagic trip sightings in the world.  Bruce is a regular spotter on these trips. 

Bruce is at the spotting scope in this 1982 photo from Dan Roberson's Website on the history of California Birding.  

Shearwater Journeys is Debbie Love Shearwater's Pelagic Birding Company that runs out of Monterey Bay and other northern California ports.  I believe she may be stopping leading these trips soon if not already.
