I had a chance to meet Peter Kaestner on my recent Antarctica trip. On the cruise Peter gave a talk about his life passion of seeing as many species of birds as he can in the world.  He worked for the U.S. diplomatic service, lived in many "birdy" places and visited many others. He now works part-time as a birding tour guide for Rockjumper Worldwide Birding Adventures, and has seen over 9700 of the 10,933 species now on the IOC checklist.  It's an amazing story, and I hope you enjoy hearing Peter's story and stories.  As always check out the BirdBanter blog for more details. You can reach Peter by email using the address on his eBird profile.  
Thanks for listening. Good birding and good day!
