Featured Tour: Great Lakes: A Spectacle of Bird Migration
May 16-25, 2025

Most years on this tour, Tawas Point State Park is chosen by our groups as their favorite birding location of the tour! We even visit the famed Magee Marsh on this tour, but Tawas comes out on top. Last year, our group had a fantastic visit with warblers (and midges) dripping off the trees! Luckily, midges don't bite, but they do provide a great food source for hungry, migrant songbirds.

Featured Tour: Ecuador: A Week in Paradise
March 21-29, 2025

On this tour, we visit the fantastic Refugio Paz de las Aves. This refuge is well-known for the five species of antpittas that are regularly seen, but we start the morning by visiting an Andean Cock-of-the-rock lek! These are some of the most bizarrely, stunning birds anywhere in the world. The refuge has erected blinds that allow for up-close views of these special birds.

Featured Tour: Costa Rica: Endemics and Specialties with Black Swamp Bird Observatory

There is no way not to enjoy your time when you're visiting the Savegre Valley. The beautiful views, cool temperatures, and colorful birds make this one of the best birding destinations in Costa Rica. On this tour, we'll spend a couple of days soaking up all that this area has to offer!

Also, this tour is a fundraising tour for Swamp Bird Observatory, so we'll be raising money for a great organization. Why wouldn't you register for this tour?

We had a great time at the Cape May Fall Festival earlier this month. As usual, the migration was a spectacle to witness. One of the mornings, we had many hawks migrating by, especially Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawks! On the first evening, we enjoyed hundreds of scoters moving south as many shorebirds fed on the shoreline. If you enjoy watching bird migration, this is a must-visit location!

As always, it was great to share a booth in the vendor area with Birding Experiences!

Featured Tour: Costa Rica: Endemics and Specialties with Black Swamp Bird Observatory

On this tour, we'll visit the Aracari Birding Deck. This is a well-named deck since the beautiful Fiery-billed Aracaris are regularly seen here. It's not just aracaris though, the feeders are usually busy with many species. It's a great place to sit and watch from the shade, in the middle of a hot day!

We are looking forward to returning to Costa Rica for some wonderful photography March 26 - April 1,2025. There are still several spots available on our Costa Rica: Quetzal Photography Extravaganza. While Resplendent Quetzals are a major focus of the trip, there are so many other amazing species that we have opportunities to photograph!

Featured Tour: Ecuador: A Week in Paradise

During this tour we visit the Zuro Loma Reserve in the high elevations of the Andes. The views of the mountains are absolutely stunning and the birding isn't half bad either! On our last visit we had great views of the Equatorial Antpitta, Sword-billed Hummingbird, and a White-throated Screech-Owl. Needless to say, we were a very happy group of birders on this day!

Featured Tour: Costa Rica: Endemics and Specialties with Black Swamp Bird Observatory

During our time visiting the beautiful Savegre Valley, we will visit Batsu Gardens. This private property has a great feeder setup with a great view! Many species of hummingbirds and colorful tanagers visit including the gorgeous Golden-browed Chlorophonia. The nearby forest also provides habitat for less common species such as Dark Pewee and Black Guan. You never know what you might find!

Featured Tour: Costa Rica: Endemics and Specialties with Black Swamp Bird Observatory

On this fundraising tour with Black Swamp Bird Observatory (BSBO) we will visit one of the best areas in the world for the stunning Resplendent Quetzal! As soon as we arrive in the Savegre Valley there will be signs of this species in the form of carvings and stained glass. It may take a little longer, but we should also soon find these quetzals in the wild. During our time in this valley, we will enjoy many other specialty species and some amazing views of the quetzals' rugged mountain habitats. Best of all, we will be supporting BSBO all the while. All are welcome to join (even if you are not a member of BSBO)!

Santa Marta Stygian Owl

Stygian Owl in the Santa Marta Mountains

We still have space on our Colombia: Santa Martas and Central Andes tour! This is a great tour to see the many endemics of the Santa Marta Mountains and the birds of the incredible paramo of Nevado del Ruiz. If you haven’t visited Colombia, this is a great first trip to this mega diverse country! Here is a sleepy Stygian Owl from our visit a couple years ago. We hope you’ll join us on this tour in early 2025!

We're having a great time at the Southeast Arizona Birding Festival with Tucson Audubon Society! The birding has been wonderful and we have spent some time in the evenings looking for snakes as well. We found this beautiful Western Diamondback Rattlesnake and took this video through our Kowa Sporting Optics US scope! #Kowascoping #prominar

Fiery-throated Morning!

Our Costa Rica: Quetzal Photography Extravaganza group had a Fiery-throated Hummingbird sort of morning!

Did you know that Ruddy Ducks have a display that involves hitting their bill against the water to form bubbles? With the sound on, you can hear the bizarre vocalization at the end! This was one of the many species of ducks we encountered displaying in North Dakota in late May! Video by SNT guide Tyler Ficker

This was our view of a "river" of raptors on our last visit to the Kekoldi Hawkwatch on our Costa Rica: Raptor Migration Spectacular tour in October of 2023!

Hummingbirds!

How many hummingbird species can you spot in this video from Alambi Reserve in Ecuador?

Lesser Prairie-Chicken display

A short clip from one of the leks where we held our Lek Trek Photo Workshop! Watching both Lesser and Greater Prairie Chickens display is a true prairie experience! So many great images were captured! #SNT #Lektreks

We wrapped up our Colombia: Santa Marta and Central Andes tour with over 500 species! Our group enjoyed watching this Spectacled Parrotlet feeding while birding outside of Líbano.

This Moustached Puffbird was enjoyed by our group while birding in the Santa Marta Mountains in Colombia! The main tour has ended with around 325 species and many endemics. Some of our group is continuing on to our extension to the central Andes. Many more hummingbirds, tanagers, and antpittas to come.
