Welcome to Father-Son Birding! Don’t be shy about subscribing!

I am a well-known author of more than ninety books (www.sneedbcollardiii.com), including Woodpeckers: Drilling Holes and Bagging Bugs. and Birds of Every Color. My newest books are Border Crossings, Little Killers:The Ferocious Lives of Puny Predators, Waiting for a Warbler and Beaver and Otter Get Along . . . Sort of. My son, Braden, is now a college student at the University of Maine. We began seriously birding together in 2014 after watching the movie The Big Year. When we began, we knew little about birds or birding, but our knowledge has steadily grown through an assortment of birding adventures, from pursuing our own Big Year(s) to traveling to the Galapagos and South America to writing and photographing books and articles. We decided to begin this blog to share our love of birds and birding, offer tips on birding and photography, and encourage other families to get out there and enjoy some of earth’s most spectacular creatures. To see the last five of our recent posts, click here. To watch our Birding Basics video, check out my YouTube channel. We hope that you will share this blog with others, offer comments, and email us with any questions that you might have. Thank you!
