“Excellent guides (Ken & Alvin) who gave our small group of twelve superb opportunities to see and photograph many species. Forty-one total bird species on this particular trip with seven of those being Lifers for me. Good to excellent lodging and meals. The vans were comfortable and allowed good viewing.”

“This is a great tour but only if you understand that owls are hard to find. The guides worked long hours trying to find the owls. The best part of this type of trip is everything else you see. As a photographer, seeing both the male and female Pine Grosbeaks on a tree was fantastic! As the owls were hard to find this trip, the best experience was going out after dark and really listening. Ever hear the expression "the silence is deafening?" well that's what happened. A beautiful and majestic Barred owl came by and our guides were able to put a spot on it as it flew away. The fact that 8 people were willing to forgo cameras and just be totally silent was truly moving. This trip reminded me how special birds are and how to never give up looking. Alvin and Ken were awesome guides. I cannot begin to list all their qualities. I still think they have bionic eyes! Great work!”

“An excellent tour led by friendly, extremely skilled, and knowledgeable guides. Appreciated the small group style of the tour - very relaxed. Exposed to a great many birding opportunities, with lots of time taken to view birds (not just owls). There were many hours of driving each day to find the primary owls we were seeking (Great Greys, Hawk Owls), which unfortunately, did not result in sightings, but very much appreciated the dedication of the guides to provide us with the best opportunities. Good accommodations.”
