On The Bird Banter Podcast #119 with Michael and Paula Webster we talk about their 5-year birding adventure in South America. They travelled in a Toyota pop-top camper van, had wild and harrowing experiences and saw remote and wonderful places, people and birds that are almost beyond belief. They are real, as you can see by watching many of their videos on the You Tube Channel The Condors Feathers.
Michael and Paula decided after careers in business for Michael and as a math teacher for Paula to follow their lifelong birding passion to travel, document and experience places they dreamed of seeing. They spent 5 years traveling throughout much of South America. While there they produced a fabulous video documentary on one of South America’s most endangered bird species, the Hooded Grebe. It is spectacular. Check out Tango in the Wind.
Michael has written a book about the adventure, to be released in the U.K. in about February, and in the U.S. later in 2022 called The Condor’s Feather: Traveling Wild in South America which you can find to pre-order on Amazon or in the U.K. at Waterstones.
I loved the chance to meet and talk with this amazing couple, and cannot wait to read the book.
Good birding and good day.
