North America 
Birding & Nature Tours
in 2010 & 2011

There have been Focus On Nature Birding Tours in North America 
for 20 years. 
To places as diverse as Alaska, Arizona, British Columbia, 
California, Colorado & Kansas (for grouse & more), Delaware, 
Florida, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, 
Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, and Washington State. 

In western North America, particularly popular has been 
our annual West Coast tour during September, in mostly 
 Washington State and California, with 2 pelagic trips.

On the opposite side of the continent, we've done birding 
& nature tours, during the late spring, in North Carolina. 

In the spring of 2010, we'll again be doing our annual tour 
for grouse & more in Colorado & nearby Wyoming.      
Also in the spring of 2010, we plan to go again to Texas to see 
the many birds & butterflies, as well as other nature, there.  

In 2010, in both the early-spring & late-summer, we'll be going
to Arizona , for birds, butterflies, wildflowers, and other nature. 
The late-summer tour is especially good for hummingbirds. 
During both the spring & summer tours, we'll be visiting a large, 
private ranch in the remote hills of Sonora, Mexico. During our 
previous tours there, we've enjoyed some wonderful wildlife and 
some great experiences. 
 
A FONT publication is now available listing over 700 species of 
birds and about 150 species of mammals found during our tours 
in North America, noting where and when. 
Another FONT publication lists butterflies & plants of the American 
Southwest (including Texas & Arizona, and nearby Mexico).
Let us know if you'd like to receive a free copy of any of these.
