Jason Hall - Bird Joy

Content Warning: Light Profanity, Vomiting/Sea SicknessEpisode Description: Founder of In Color Birding Club and co-host of the Bird Joy Podcast Jason Hall shares a story about hubris and what happens when feelin your oats goes wrong on a pelagic tour. In their own words: Jason Hall got pulled into birding on the wings and bubbly mannerisms of a Tufted Titmouse as part of a high school environmental science course outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Over the years, he’s grown that passion into founding the non-profit In Color Birding Club (ICBC) which focuses on providing a safe and joyful on-ramp to birding for historically marginalized communities.  As founder of ICBC, Jason works with his board members to consistently expand access to birding and the outdoors to communities in and around Philadelphia. This includes partnering with many local organizations to offer bird outings, bus sponsorships for public schools in Philly, teacher school supply scholarships, and food drives. In 2024, Jason joined Dexter Patterson to start the Bird Joy Podcast. A place where birders of all types and skill levels can come to enjoy diverse thought and excitement around the growth of birding in our lives. Jason's primary vocation is Director of Large Molecule Analytical Sciences where he support vaccine and biologic product commercialization.
