From bird biologist & bird guide to optics professional with Kowa Sporting Optics, Jeff Bouton has been in the industry for over 35 years – writing articles, speaking & guiding and pioneering digiscoping techniques since the early 90’s. He first tracked digiscoped year birds during the pandemic and captured images of 518 bird species in 2021. Working at various birding events in 2023, he broke his own record in just over 4 months and jokingly quipped, “I wonder if I can double this by year’s end?” Join Bouton as he recaps chasing the elusive 1,000th digiscoped year bird in this entertaining talk!
