Hosted in partnership with the San Diego Bird Festival, this special Nat Talk features keynote speaker Dexter Patterson, birder, storyteller, educator, and co-founder of the BIPOC Birding Club of Wisconsin.
Also known as the Wisco Birder, Dexter Patterson is passionate about making birdwatching inclusive for everyone. His lively "You Ready? Let's Go!" videos showcase his discoveries of various bird species and have earned millions of views online.
As an educator, photographer, writer, and co-founder of the BIPOC Birding Club of Wisconsin, Dexter is committed to demonstrating that birding is accessible to all. His goal is to promote inclusivity and help people connect with nature's beauty through Bird Joy. He also co-hosts the Bird Joy Podcast and is the author of Birds of the Great Lakes (Timber Press/Hachette, 2025), a birding field guide that blends birding, storytelling, and community. Through his work, he encourages a new generation of birdwatchers to explore the outdoors and appreciate the diverse life around them.
