Register now for DFO's first program of our fall-winter 2025 series. World birder Peter Kaestner, a retired career US diplomat whose far-flung work travels helped him achieve this milestone, will recount his decades-long quest in "10,000 Birds and (Still) Counting: One Man's Global Checklist," scheduled for next Monday, Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. MDT via Zoom webinar.
-- Kaestner reached the 10K species milestone on Feb. 9, 2024, when he spotted an Orange-tufted Spiderhunter in its native Philippines. He reached his 10,000th species only hours ahead of a rival lister. Kaestner has birded 190 countries and territories and lived in a dozen of them, from India and Afghanistan to Colombia, New Guinea and Namibia. In 2019, he became a part-time guide for Rockjumper, the birding outfitter service, which touts him as "the world's #1 birder." He also serves as a brand ambassador for the American Bird Conservancy.
