We had a fantastic tour exploring the best of Cost

We had a fantastic tour exploring the best of Costa Rica's Caribbean region with a focus on North American migrants. It was an incredibly productive tour with a great diversity of raptors, migratory songbirds, and Neotropical residents. There were a number of highlight birds including American Flamingo, Brown Noddy, Blue-and-Gold Tanager, Black Hawk-Eagle, Resplendent Quetzal, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Black-crested Coquette, Yellow-naped Amazon, Great Green Macaw and Yellow-winged Flatbill.

On our Patagonia Birds & Wildlife Tour with Canadi

On our Patagonia Birds & Wildlife Tour with Canadian Geographic, we birded through Southern Argentina and Chile, visiting a variety of habitats from the Beagle Channel to the dry steppe off of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. It was a great time to be there as most Austral migrants had returned to breed and the usual host of Boreal Migrants were wintering. Notable bird species include a Franklin's Gull at Rio Grande, Elegant-crested Tinamou in the pampas of southern Chile, and a Blue Petrel in the Beagle Canal. Notable Mammal species include Guanaco, Puma, South American Sea Lion, and Big Hairy Armadillo.

In October we visited the Atlantic rainforest of Southeast Brazil. During the tour we saw over 60 Brazilian endemic bird species and a huge assortment of Atlantic rainforest endemics (shared with Argentina and Paraguay)! On our best days, we were recording around 130-150 species per day of mostly forested habitat and Intervales was the most species-rich.

The inaugural Eagle-Eye Tours Nova Scotia fall tou

The inaugural Eagle-Eye Tours Nova Scotia fall tour went off with flying colors. We enjoyed beautiful weather as we travelled down the Annapolis Valley to Brier Island, and around the bottom of Nova Scotia back along the Atlantic coast to Halifax. On the way, we witness thousands of Semipalmated Sandpipers along the edge of the Bay of Fundy, migrating flocks of songbirds heading south for the fall, and a nice array of shorebirds, including the striking American Oystercatcher. We boated out into the rich krill waters of the Bay of Fundy to witness the waters teeming with 40 thousand Red Phalaropes, and get up close with Humpback Whales, South Polar Skua, and Great Shearwaters. We walked sandy beaches, enjoyed iconic lighthouses and quaint fishing villages, and enjoyed the fine food and hospitality that Nova Scotia is known for! Can’t wait for next year!

We had many highlights on our Belugas, Bears & Bir

We had many highlights on our Belugas, Bears & Birds trip in July. We had superb cooperation from the Beluga whales that seemed intent on following us around on our second Churchill River excursion… pods of large white adults and a few grayish young trailing immediately behind the zodiac and surfacing all around us. And not only did we get a respectable 218 bird and 20 mammal species overall on this tour, but we were able to get amazing photos and incredible looks at most. And who can forget the owls - 4 Great Grays when we thought we’d be lucky to get one, 6 Great Horned, and a couple surprises… a Burrowing Owl in the southwest and a Northern Hawk Owl that zipped by in front of the van in Riding Mountain National Park!
