Seymore Gulls
Backyard Birds West & Backyard Birds East
The Wild Arts Festival is pleased to again present Seymore Gulls (aka Eric Carlson), a Portland-based photographer and birder. An enthusiastic birder, Seymore teamed up with photographer Brian E. Small, a professional bird and nature photographer, to produce two bird guides: Backyard Birds West and Backyard Birds East. The guides include most of the bird species users are most likely to see, a primer on basic bird anatomy, a color map, and more. Seymore’s previous work, Neighborhood Birding 101: An Identification Guide to Washington, Oregon, and Northern California’s Most Common Neighborhood Birds (2021) is a practical identification guide for both beginners and experienced birders. His clever identification markers, stunning photographs, and clear, concise descriptions make this an easy-to-use resource. You can find more information about him at pdxbirder.com and meet him at the Book Fair on Sunday, December 8th. Please check the official signing schedule published by Bird Alliance of Oregon in case of changes before you head out.
