Our September birding adventure through Nova Scoti

Our September birding adventure through Nova Scotia was a wonderful blend of coastal scenery, migration magic, and maritime charm. From the vast mudflats of the Minas Basin alive with Semipalmated Sandpipers and Peregrine Falcons, to the songbird-filled forests of Blomidon, every day offered new highlights. On Brier Island, we were treated to an unforgettable boat trip amid puffins, phalaropes, and jaegers, followed by incredible close-up views of Buff-breasted Sandpipers at Pond Cove. Along the South Shore, Cape Sable Island and Daniel’s Head dazzled with swirling flocks of shorebirds and a surprise Laughing Gull and Franklin’s Gull. We wrapped up with scenic stops at Peggy’s Cove and Ketch Harbour, sharing stories and seafood to celebrate a fantastic week of birding, camaraderie, and classic Nova Scotia beauty.

On our Saskatchewan Cranes & Geese tour, it didn’t take long to locate the Whooping Cranes, a.k.a. North America’s tallest bird. Some cranes were in small family groups of two parents and one brown-marbled juvenile, whereas others formed flocks of 50+ birds. All in all we tallied roughly 100 Whooping Cranes that day, which accounts for an astounding 15% of the wild population! We were fortunate to hear their resonant baritone cries and to see these goliath birds in flight.

Our Tropical Australia birding tour was filled wit

Our Tropical Australia birding tour was filled with incredible birding, wildlife encounters, and stunning landscapes from start to finish. Beginning in Darwin, we enjoyed sightings of Red-collared Lorikeets, Rainbow Pitta and Gouldian Finch. In Kakadu National Park, we cruised among crocodiles at Yellow Waters, admired ancient rock art at Ubirr and Nourlangie Rock, and spotted local specialties like Red Goshawk, Banded Fruit-Dove, Chestnut-quilled Rock-Pigeon and White-lined Honeyeater. Highlights continued in Pine Creek and Katherine with Hooded Parrots, Apostlebirds and Yellow-tinted Honeyeaters. From mangrove boardwalks to billabongs, and savannahs to sandstone escarpments, the group enjoyed an unforgettable week of birding and camaraderie in the Northern Territory.

Peru is one of the countries with most bird divers

Peru is one of the countries with most bird diversity in the world and our 17-day tour to this marvelous country proved it! We began birding the cold, nutrient rich waters off the shores of Lima where we saw an amazing diversity of seabirds including the elegant Inca Tern, Humboldt Penguin and Red-legged Cormorants, as well as the unusual Surf Cinclodes. We then flew to the rich Peruvian Amazon rainforest along the Tambopata River where we enjoyed the world famous Colpa Chuncho, the claylick with hundreds of parrots and macaws. We also saw an amazing variety of other species including toucans, aracaris, cotingas, oropendolas and even a Harpy Eagle! Our next stop was the world renowned Manu Road which covers an incredible altitudinal gradient with mountain-tanagers, flowerpiercers and antpittas in the higher cloud forests, to the multicolored species of tanagers in the lower gradients and an unbeatable view of a Cock-of-the-Rock lek. Exploring the arid intermontane Andean valleys, such as the Sacred Valley, we had many great species such as Chestnut-breasted Mountain-Finch, Sword-billed Hummingbird and Bearded Mountaineer, as well as awe-inspiring visits to several archaeological sites including of course, Machupicchu. Our visit to the high mountain pass of Abra Málaga, above 4300m, could not have been more spectacular with a clear view of the snow-covered Nevado de Verónica and many puna species, as well as White-capped Dippers and Torrent Ducks feeding in the fast, clear streams.
