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!

We has a 2 successful tours to the High Arctic & N

We has a 2 successful tours to the High Arctic & NWT. Our first group observed 165 species of birds. Highlights were undoubtedly the very many sightings (14!) of Yellow-billed Loon, including a spectacular takeoff at close range, a bird fishing right next to the road and discovering a female on the nest.

Many shorebirds found during previous years proved to be still present, and witnessing the mating of a pair of Red Phalaropes was truly spectacular, as well as a sudden find of a Rock Ptarmigan on the side of the road. Truly, the tundra holds so many special birds, often familiar to us but never encountered in this behavior before.

On the mammal front, the hunting Eurasian Stoat, Arctic Fox and the often-docile Arctic Hares were amazing extra’s, as well as hundreds of Ringed Seals on the ice, which were barely present the year before.

The innagural Eagle-Eye Tours trip to Alaska visit

The innagural Eagle-Eye Tours trip to Alaska visited Kenai Fjords, Utqiagvik (Barrow), and Nome and was a great success. Over 13 days we saw an incredible variety of Alaskan Habitats and incredible birds like Gyrfalcon, Bristle-thighed Curlew, Northern Wheatear, Steller's, Spectacled and King Eider, Arctic Loon, Snowy Owl, Parakeet Auklet, Horned Puffin, and many more. We also encountered a few rarities for the state including Curlew Sandpiper and Manx Shearwater.

In many cases, mammals stole the show and major highlights included a group of 5 massive Fin Whales, multiple pods of Orcas at exceptionally close distances and a group of 4 Polar Bears feeding on a Bowhead Whale carcass.

Our Newfoundland birding tour offers a remarkable

Our Newfoundland birding tour offers a remarkable diversity of spectacular scenery, a good chance at seeing iconic mammals like moose and caribou, plus a variety of seabirds and northern mainland birds.

On our June Grand Newfoundland tour, we got to see some of the fabulous seabird colonies that dot the Avalon Peninsula, including thousands of Northern Gannets, Atlantic Puffins, Black-legged Kittiwakes, Common and Thick-billed Murres, as well as Razorbills and Black Guillemots.

But who could have expected some of the surprises we would get during this trip. Great moose and caribou, an incredible show of Humpback Whales at St Vincent’s beach, and a most cooperative trail-side Lynx! Overall, we had 112 species of birds, including a few write-ins to the list, the most significant one, of course, the unforgettable Steller’s Sea Eagle!!

Our unique double-themed England Birds & Gardens t

Our unique double-themed England Birds & Gardens tour combines birding and gardens in a delightful part of the world, southern England.

This year’s tour proved a great success, and covered everything you might expect from southern England at this time of year! Chocolate-box villages, weather that could be closer to either wintry or summery depending on the day, and of course world-renowned gardens full of spring-blooming shrubs and extensive, wilder, protected areas teeming with birdlife.

Beth Chatto’s, Barnsdale and especially Kew Gardens were a big hit, while avian highlights included fantastic views of specialities such as Great Bittern, Bearded Reedling and Eurasian Spoonbill.
