On this episode I talk with birder, author, Portland Audubon volunteer and all-around interesting woman, Sarah Swanson. Sarah has written two birding books, and the latest is:

I think this book will be a great tool for those interested in enjoying and learning the birds of the Oregon coast who are maybe not already familiar with what they are likely to see and their identification. This book is available for pre-order now, and is expected to be available in October of this year.
Sarah previously wrote a book called Must See Birds of the Pacific Northwest which is available used.
Sarah is an active member of the Portland birding community, and it was fun to talk with her about birding in her area, the process of marketing a new book, her birding story, and lots more.
You can find Sarah on Instagram @sarahlovesbirds or on Twitter @MustSeeBirds.
I also enjoyed hearing from Sarah about inclusiveness in birding, how Portland birders have been leading the way with birding groups like Feminist Birding Club of Portland and others. It helped remind me to try harder to be more inclusive and inviting to everyone.
Thanks for listening. As always I welcome suggestions for and introductions to potential guests for the podcast. Reach out to me on the Contact Page anytime with ideas.
Until next time, good birding and good day!
