North America 
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).
Let us know if you'd like to receive a free copy of each or either.
