Rose Red and Jaymi bring Vyviane Armstrong owner of Land Sea Sky Travel onto the show to discuss her fantastic online classes and conferences. They discuss what the conferences and classes are as well as the Pilgrimages Vyviane offers through Land Sea Sky Travel. The Classes and Conferences begin Jan 19 and run all year long.  When you sign up for each conference, you not only get all the video and audio recordings but you also get a lot of handouts and resources. If you are unable to attend part or all of the classes, you still get to download the materials. This makes the Land Sea Sky Travel conferences a wonderful experience. Each conference and class has a sliding scale cost. Presenters, panelists, and other help are paid to make these events possible. Everyone gets a fair wage. When you sign up for the classes and conferences, you get a ticket to a live event, a packet of information to share with your local community, and a recording of the event... along with even more materials. Vyviane held the first class on January 19, 2019, with River Devora. They discussed Anti-semitism and pagan awareness as well as discussing the history of Jewish culture, and explore the idea around being pagan and Jewish and how to recognize anti-semitism and be a better ally.  Year of the Gods warmly welcomes those under 21 and over 71. They can attend for free. The group also makes welcoming spaces for folks with accessibility issues and people of color. Go check out their wonderful Hospitality Statement at http://landseaskytravel.com/hospitality/ The first conference focused on Brighid, included hands-on workshops, devotionals, bardic circles, as well as prayers and songs for Brighid. Each conference has new faces for a deeper discussion to help people expand their knowledge of the Celtic Gods. Join Vyviane on her Facebook page to find more info on all classes and conferences. 

Birders in North America are increasingly keen to combine the somewhat separate skills of birding and photography, but around the rest of the world birding is pretty much synonymous with photography to the point where sometimes you don’t even carry binoculars. It seems strange to us, but it’s the way things are to birder and photographer Keith Barnes, who joins host Nate Swick to talk about how birders use cameras, tips for would-be photographers, and the way birding culture differs in east Asia. Keith is one of the founders of the bird tour company Tropical Birding, a South African expat now living in Taiwan, and he is the architect of the ABA’s Birding with a Camera Tour of Thailand early next year. Also, is a great list schism on the horizon? And listeners write in with tips for new birders that they wish they knew when they were getting started.

One of the issues that the birding community has been reckoning with for the last several years is our relative lack of diversity, at least in terms of black and brown faces in the field, and how we can encourage a broader coalition of nature enthusiasts to join us and to share the joy of birding. It's an issue that Dr. Drew Lanham has given a great deal of thought. Lanham is a distinguished professor of wildlife ecology at Clemson University, he sits on the boards of both National Audubon and the American Birding Association, and his memoir, The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man’s Love Affair With Nature was published in 2017. Drew was recently profiled in the August/September issue of Garden & Gun magazine and he joins host Nate Swick to talk about his experiences as a black man who loves what he calls one of "the whitest things you can do".   Also, news from the border as birders are given another opportunity to make their voices heard on the proposed border wall that will cut off several great birding locations.  Thanks to our episode sponsor, Land, Sea, and Sky. Since 1940, the optics experts at Land Sea & Sky to purchase just the right pair of binoculars for their birding adventures.

Hawk-watchers are easily the most established sub-groups within th birding community, and the hawk-watching community in North America is close-knit and passionate. One of its undisputed authorities is Jerry Liguori of Salt Lake City, Utah, the author of Hawks at a Distance and Hawks from Every Angle and the co-author of many more. He is the 2017 recipient of the ABA’s Robert Ridgway Award for publications in field ornithology and his articles have appeared many times in ABA’s Birding magazine. Jerry joins host Nate Swick to talk about the magic of watching hawks, his diagnosis with ALS, and what birders need to know about hawk-watching.  Thanks to our episode sponsor, Land, Sea, and Sky. Since 1940, the optics experts at Land Sea & Sky to purchase just the right pair of binoculars for their birding adventures.
