My guest is Tom Brown, owner of Focus on Feathers, an organization that coordinated photography-based birding tours in the past, but now focuses on marketing Tom’s photography. He has led birding field trips in Mexico and across the United States. You might have seen some of his photography in various tourism-focused publications and maybe even his weekly column on Ten Thousand Birds, a few years ago. Tom talks about his background in birding, how he got into photography, his year birding around the world and he also shares about the Western Screech Owl.Timestamps00:00 - Intro00:35 - Tom's birding background06:14 - Focus on Feathers07:20 - Birding in Mexico13:00 - Bird of the Episode: Western Screech Owl23:15 - Western Screech Owl call23:54 - Tom's year birding around the world41:44 - OutroFor more about Tom and his photography, please check out: https://www.focusonfeathers.comFor pictures of some of the birds discussed on the podcast, please check out @lookingatbirdspodcast on Instagram.
