The National Audubon Society Will Be Featuring My Work Oct 5-11th! Plus Vancouver Bird Week reaches out to marginalized birders.


The National Audubon Society has asked me to take over their Instagram account for a week starting Oct 5th and have asked me to share my work with their almost 590,000 followers. They told me they were impressed by the quality of my photographs, my passion and my advocacy for conservation. Two of my photos a day will be posted from Oct 5th until Oct 11th. This is a true honour and if you would like to follow along and see what images I will post under my Instagram takeover. Please follow the National Audubon Society's Instagram account @audubonsociety. 

If you don't have an Instagram account you can still see the twice a day posts that will feature my work by clicking this link HERE

Thank you once again to the National Audubon Society for featuring my photographic work in this manner. I am truly humbled and honoured.

Plus if you missed watching the well-made CBC Documentary "Rare Bird Alert" that I and some of my young birders were featured in you can watch it below:

Also it is Vancouver Bird Week Oct 3-10th and I will be leading a bird walk at Reifel that is BIPOC friendly on Oct 8th. You can sign up HERE. Vancouver Bird Week and Birds Canada have reached out to marginalized birders. There will be walks that are safe and welcoming for Queer, LGBTQ+, Women and other minorities that do not generally feel included in the world of birding. You can find all the Vancouver Bird Week events and links to sign up for them here.

  3. Great photos. Without an instagram account credits are not visible, but I recognize your photos, which of course are excellent. I found out the CBC documentary is not viewable in the USA.
