Birding & Nature Tours
in 2008 & 2009
| There have
been Focus On Nature Birding Tours in North America for 18 years, to places as diverse as Alaska, Arizona, British Columbia,
California, Colorado & Kansas (for
grouse & more), Delaware, Florida, Nebraska, New
Mexico, North Carolina, 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. During the summer of '08, we'll be going again to Arizona for birds (notably hummingbirds, but others too) & butterflies, where we enjoyed a wonderful tour in '07. In the spring of '08, we'll again do our annual tour for grouse & more in Colorado & nearby Wyoming. Also in the spring of '08, we plan to go again to Texas to see the many birds & butterflies, as well as other nature there. A FONT publication
is available listing more than 700 species of birds and 135 species of
mammals found during our North
American tours, noting where and when found. Another publication lists
butterflies of the American Southwest (including Texas & Arizona, and
nearby Mexico). |
