Back to BirdingPeter Kaestner's Breathtaking Life of Birding (Shipwrecks? Cannibals?)Join Patrick and Luke as they fangirl over one of their childhood heroes, Peter Kaestner. Peter holds the world record for having seen the highest number of bird species in the world, with a grand total of over 10,000 (there's only about 11,000!). His birding adventures come with a truckload of unfathomable experiences and achievements, and his life is a testament to the awe-inspiring beauty and complexity of the natural world. Peter’s childlike wonder abounds, even late in life, as he still marvels over each species.Trophies are not the only thing setting Peter apart, rather, his relentless co...

Back to BirdingDavid Hollie on the Lesser Antilles and its endemic birds, Part 2Join Luke and David as they dive deep into the wonders of Lesser Antillean birds and island life. This episode was recorded prior to the recent split of House Wren, and David provides some incredible insight into the reality of the House Wren "subspecies", as well as his opinions on other splits of Lesser Antillean endemics. David's invaluable photo and audio documentation of these island endemics have been leaned on heavily during the species revision process.This episode is a hair more fast-paced than usual, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!Reach out for anything...
