Searching for Black-breasted Pufflegs
James Fisher once said that “The observation of birds may be a superstition, a tradition, an art, a science, a pleasure, a hobby, or a bore; this depends entirely on the nature of the observer”. I hope that my trips fulfill a little of all but the last category! I love getting out into nature and showing people the wonders that surround them and sharing my knowledge with them. I think by experiencing places personally we start to gain an awe and respect for nature and a desire to preserve it for future generations.
Personally for me as a tour leader I enjoy the sharing the excitement of these trips and hope that participants get to learn something new and exciting whenever they are with me. As a tour leader I think one of the greatest compliments I ever received was when one of my regular participants told me that he enjoys the slower days in my company as much as the ones that are non-stop birding action.
Noah Strycker – Big Year Birding in Los Angeles – Ross’s Goose down, 6,041 to go
I am excited to be part of the Rockjumpers, High Lonesome BirdTours and Wildside Nature Tours teams as well as leading tours for the Hawk Migration Association of North America. I also have a couple of private tours and some local trips for Pasadena Audubon Society (details and how to join PAS on their website). I am looking forward to being able to share with other people some of the more exciting and interesting places that I have visited over the years both in the USA and around the globe.
Please check out my newly published guiding website: Birding Los Angeles and Beyond (here).
Under Clear Skies 
what’s this trip to costa rica you mention? let’s make it happen! we’re probably heading down in late february/ early march. check out the review for saladero on tripadvisor if you need some convincing!
Luke,
I was a member of the BwTCB group that you led in June. I was wondering if you will be leading walks in Fairfield on April 3rd. Might be staying at my moms and thought I might get some birding in.
Thanks cindy
Hi Cindy,
Good to hear from you again. There should be some details about my upcoming walks on the Sunrise Birding website in the next day or so.
Luke
Can’t make it this year but definitely would like to in 2019!
Hi Luke,
Found this blog-and had been wondering for some time where you had landed! Im working on a NFP farm project in Westchester Ny just over the Ct Border.Could use input on eco-tourism use of the 21 acre site. Message me on Face Book Laura Tuttle Stabell or drop an email!
