Our
upcoming spring migration tours are full with the
exception of
3 spaces on our
Arizona:
Birding
the Border II tour,
May 18-27 with Dave
Stejskal--your "first" spring choice, coming up. And
what's this about a "second" spring, you ask? Well, in
Arizona, you can double up! We've got two great
monsoon-season
trips, when birds will be busy singing and
breeding,
Jul 28-Aug 6 with John Coons and
Aug
4-13 with Megan Crewe.
Whether you've been to Costa Rica or
hope to go, you'll enjoy a slideshow of new photos by
guide
Megan
Crewe from her recent Costa Rica tour...everything
from a quetzal and motmot to a thorntail and sabrewing.
Oh, and brilliant!
Check
it out here. Megan heads back
March
16-31, 2013.
Going
to be in Massachusetts or Cape May mid-May? Bret will be
giving his talk on
Brazil
& Peru: New Birds in Old Places at the
Hampshire Bird Club on
May 14. Megan is slotted
to co-lead CMBO's
Spring
Shorebirds and Southern Breeders two-day
workshop,
May 14-15, with Pete Dunne if there
are enough registrations. Both events are great
opportunities to catch up with Bret or Megan...or get to
meet them!
And with our 2012 Ethiopia tour
coming right up,
this
fascinating news about one of Ethiopia's biggest
birding prizes, Stresemann's Bush-Crow, caught our eye.
Surprising and truly "cool" bird news.
Read
on...
Alaska:
a thrilling seabird spectacle on the Pribs and the
amazing landscape, birding, and wildlife of Denali.
We've got 4 spaces on our
May
30-June 7 departure with Chris Benesh and Jesse
Fagan, and just one space on our
June
6-14 trip with George Armistead and Megan Crewe.
Guide Dan
Lane's twist on Mork's expression made us chuckle when
he sent in
this piece
about his upcoming summer tours to the magnificent Manu
in Peru:
Manu
Wildlife Center, Jul 2-14, and
Mountains of Manu, Jul 21-Aug 5.
If you get the Mork reference above, you'll smile too,
and if you don't it might be time to dig back into the
TV archives. Don't miss
Dan's piece
here...
If you want to
channel Teddy R's adventurous spirit -- while seeing
some amazing wilderness from a wonderful lodge, not to
mention a whole bunch of fantastic birds (several of
which
have yet to be described!) -- you're in
luck as there is
one spot open with Bret for
this
Dec
14-27, 2012 tour. For more check out the
itinerary
and Bret's most
recent triplist.
A lot of interest from our loyal travelers has already
filled various of our tours in the period, and many of
the remaining trips below have just one or two spots
open. Any of these great destinations on your list? If
so,

our office to help you get ready for some great
birding!
