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 <https://ebird.org/species/ortspi1>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.
