Want a treat? Listen to Braden’s and Sneed’s fun interview with Sarah Aronson on Montana NPR’s “The Write Question” which aired Thursday, March 7!
Welcome to FatherSonBirding!
I am a writer and my son, Braden, is a college junior. Since 2014, we have shared a passion for birds, birding, and photography. We created this blog to share our adventures, offer tips on birding and photography, promote bird conservation, and encourage families to join in our favorite outdoor activity. To see our most recent posts, click here or on a particular post to the right. We’d be delighted if you subscribed to and shared this blog with your friends, students, teachers—even your barber, if you think she’d enjoy it. To learn more about Sneed, his books, and author visits, please visit Sneed’s website and the website of Bucking Horse Books. To book a school visit directly, please write to him at Sneed’s email. Our posts are free to enjoy, but if you would like to support FatherSonBirding, please buy new copies of some of Sneed’s books from your local indie bookstore. Thank you for your interest and feel free to send your feedback by commenting or shooting us an email.
