IOANA SERITANAssociate Editor, Birding magazineWe are incredibly excited to celebrate more than 100 Birding Interviews, conducted by the inimitable Noah Strycker. Since the column began, interviewees have shared their stories with readers, covering topics from conservation, research, and advocacy, to writing, art, and music, as well as connection, collaboration, and the importance of community. Interviewees have talked about where they came from, how they got here, and where birding is going next.

IOANA SERITANAssociate Editor, Birding magazineThe Orange-tufted Spiderhunter on the cover has gone down in history as Peter Kaestner’s 10,000th world bird. At the time that you’re reading this, it’s been a few months since Peter announced cracking the once-impossibly-high-ceiling of 10,000 species. In June’s Birding Interview, Peter joins Noah Strycker to talk about what it was like to build up to, and reach, this incredible milestone.
