Private Outings
No binoculars? No problem! We’ve got you covered with quality binoculars for you to borrow and a high-powered spotting scope. If you’re curious to give birding a try, or you’ve always wanted to ID the birds around you or in your backyard — contact us to book a private guided birding walk (typically 2-3 hours) or backyard session. If there are any specific birding skills you’d like to focus on improving (visual ID, birding-by-ear, etc.), let us know and we’ll be happy to tailor a session to your interests. Group rates are available, as well as customized itineraries.
