Upper Texas Coast 6 Day Spring Migration
April 26 - May 1, 2024
Come explore the legendary migrant traps around High Island, Texas, well known as a stopping point for a multitude of migrant birds each year after their long flight across the Gulf of Mexico. With luck, the weather conditions may be right for a rare "fallout" event that drives birds down by the thousands! We will travel down the Bolivar Peninsula to enjoy some beach birding and hopefully find some cooperative Clapper Rails, and be sure to spend a morning at Anahuac NWR to see numerous freshwater marsh birds. Finally we will spend a day birding in the east Texas Pineywoods visiting a nesting colony of Red-cockaded Woodpeckers. Experience east Texas Cajun cuisine at various fresh seafood restaurants, I recommend the Gulf shrimp or alligator! Book your spot & I'll find the birds!
Santa Margarita Ranch, Texas
Custom Trip Dates You may have heard the amazing amount of rare birds being seen at Santa Margarita Ranch in south Texas, Brown Jay, Bare-throated Tiger Heron, Crane Hawk, Rose-throated Becard, Dusky-capped Flycatcher, and more. It is a private ranch and access is limited, but I have permission from the owner to guide people on the ranch. If you are interested in visiting this fantastic birding location please send me a message. |
1st trip: SOLD OUT
2nd trip: May 14- 23, 2024. 3rd trip: Aug 24-31, 2024 Diversity of habitat is the reason that this area has more species of birds, mammals, reptiles and insects than any other area in the country. There are 550 species of birds on the Arizona list, and you can always expect a productive trip here. |
Saskatchewan
June 5-12, 2024
Join me and let's explore one of Canada's least populated provinces, Saskatchewan, located at the edge of the prairie and boreal forest, just north of eastern MT and western ND.
On this tour we will visit two main different habitat types, starting off with the prairie habitats of Grassland National Park, and finishing off with boreal forests at Prince Albert National Park. The two regions have very different breeding bird species. We can hope to see 150-175 species of birds on this tour, as well as Moose; American Elk; Pronghorn; Black Bear & American Badger
