From Beginner to Big Year: Tobin Brown’s Birding Journey
Advertisement
Please join us for a special program featuring acclaimed birder, photographer and Omaha local Tobin Brown. Brown earned statewide recognition after completing a 2025 Nebraska Big Year — an impressive undertaking where a birder tries to find the highest number of bird species across Nebraska within a single calendar year. Brown recorded 355 bird species — breaking the previous state record of 347 set in 2013.
What makes Brown’s accomplishment especially remarkable is how recently he began birding. After taking up the hobby in 2023, he has rapidly developed an impressive knowledge of bird identification, documentation and tactics for finding and photographing birds across the state.
During his presentation, Brown will share photos from his record-setting journey through the backroads of Nebraska, giving us a firsthand look at what it takes to pursue birding at the highest level.
Whether you’re an avid “lister” (the moniker for competitive birders) or simply curious about the world of extreme birding, Brown’s story is sure to delight you. We look forward to seeing you there!
Our monthly educational programs are held in the private meeting room at DJ’s Dugout, 777 N. 114th Street. Meet and mingle with other nature-lovers at the 6 p.m. social hour, followed by the program at 7 p.m. Our meetings are free and open to the public.
