Looking at Birds: A Birding Podcast

E37 - Tom B + Western Screech Owl

Chris Season 1 Episode 37

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.
