The Bird Banter Podcast Episode #37with John Pushcock

On The Bird Banter Podcast Episode #37 I talk with Alaskan Island expert and trip leader John Pushcock.  John has been able to lead trips to Attu in recent years using a seaworthy ship to transport birders from Adak to Attu, birding Attu by day, and sleeping on the boat at night.  He also has led trips to Adak, Utgiagvik (previously  Barrow), Alaska.  John runs a Seattle based birding tour company Zugunruhe Birding Tours, website Zbirdtours.com http://www.zbirdtours.com/ 

You can find John on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/john.puschock but the best way is via his website above.  

On the podcast we talk briefly about my experience on the 5-day Pelagic trip on the Searcher out of San Diego. The leader of that trip is John  McGrath, I could not recall his last name when we were talking. Here is a link to the trip site. https://www.bajawhale.com/wildlife-tours/pelagic-birding-tours/

We talk about Johns early birding days on the east coast, his time in California, and how he came to become a leading Alaskan island bird tour operator.  Enjoy.

Until next time, good birding. Good day!
