“All in all a really good trip! The tour was quite busy, but we saw so many birds. Many of them were lifers for us. The guides, Sam & Natasha were amazing. Their knowledge, helpfulness and personalities made it such a fun learning experience. And this group of birders was great to travel with.”

“This was our first guided birding experience. My husband and I have been home for several days and we are still trying to unpack the breadth and depth of the beauty we were priveledged to witness. In the hands of our incredible guides - Natasha Barlow and Samuel Perfect - we received a masterclass in orthinology, which is something you would expect from such a tour. It's what we didn't expect that made this adventure so magical. The compassion, like-mindedness and reverence for nature demonstrated by our guides and our geographically diverse group of participants comes at a time when it is truly needed.”

“Very busy tour almost to busy but worth it. Excellent guides who worked hard to find, identify, explain identification characteristics and ensure we all saw the birds. Considering the long days the guides had they remained enthusiastic and cheerey. Only complaint would be my tired feet at the end of the day, but that's actually a good thing.”

“Excellent trip with excellent guides. Matthew and Brendan worked long hours to make this trip a success. They are highly competent birders who enjoy sharing their sightings. Very patient as well. They maximized our time in the field to maximize time with the birds. This trip hit the best birding spots for the migrating warblers, along Lake Erie in Ontario, offering good photo opportunities. Going to the Long Point Research Station is a unique opportunity on this trip. I would highly recommend the Lake Erie Spring Migration trip.”
