02-17: Out There With the American Birding Expo with Bill Thompson III & Ben Lizdas
The American Birding Expo is returning to the Philadelphia area once more next month. Running from 21-23 September, it is billed as "the world of birding in one place" and with exhibitors from 6 continents that is a pretty fair description. Expo-runners, Bill Thompson III and Ben Lizdas join me to talk about the Expo and what birders can expect in the way of exhibitors, workshops and keynoters. In addition to running the Expo, Bill is the editor of BirdWatcher's Digest, and Ben runs the new optics retailer Redstart Birding. They are also the co-hosts of the podcast "Out There With the Birds", and we cover it all from the Global Big Year Challenge (tm) to the joys of matching people with the perfect pair of binoculars.
Plus, the feral cat problem and a bright spot thanks to our friends at the American Bird Conservancy.
Thanks to episode sponsor, the Partnership for International Birding, combining 200 scheduled tours to destinations around the world with unmatched support for local bird conservation.
