“This was our sixth trip with Eagle-Eye and it did not disappoint. Got to experience three lovely areas along Lake Erie and immerse ourselves in nature while also getting to see not only a good variety of birds in their colourful breeding plummage but also to see long-tailed weasles, voles, muskrats, bats, frogs, toads, turtles, snakes, rabbits, deer and butterflies. One of our highlights was a ferruginous hawk. Uncommon for that area. Our guides Matt and Daniel were fantastic. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend the trip.”

“The tour met our expectations for a great birding trip. We learned lots and saw beautiful birds. We appreciated the guides for their expertise and knowledge. If we had gone to this area on our own, we likely would have been disappointed, not having expert guides to show us such a variety and number of bird species. The locations and trails were wonderful (forests, beaches, marshes, parks). The bird banding demonstrations at the Old Cut research station were not to be missed and played an important part in learning about current research. We met a great group of people from across Canada and some from the US. What a memorable, invigorating, inspiring experience.”

“This tour was excellent. The guides were extremely helpful and very enthusiastic. They tried very hard to enable us to so many birds. They were kind and engaging. What a glorious trip. I will do it again next year.”

“Overall this was a good tour for seeing the spring migration along Lake Erie. Fortunate enough to have good weather and few leafs on the trees so that viewing of birds was possible, especially the smaller species like wrens, warblers. I think the time frame was about right, possibly a day less would have been okay.”
