Seymore Gulls
Backyard Birds West & Backyard Birds East
Wild Arts Festival welcomes back Seymore Gulls (aka Eric Carlson), a Portland-based photographer and birder. In Backyard Birds East and Backyard Birds West, both practical guides for beginners and experienced birders alike, readers will find clever identification markers, clear, concise descriptions of each bird, and stunning photographs. These easy-to-use resources are great field guides for budding birders of any age – and are truly, as Seymore himself states, a “perfect gift for anyone moderately curious about birds.” If you are happy to bird in your own backyard, or prefer to travel to such far-flung places as Florida - like Seymore - you will find his enthusiasm and knowledge appear on each page of these field guides. He “believes that birding can change the world and it’s his personal mission to get as many people as possible to start taking notice of the wonderful creatures around them.”
