 Birding Tours and Adventures |
Starting
with nothing but your ears and eyes, you notice that
not all bird songs sound alike, nor are they feathered
the same!
You get a book or two, study field guides, and you
discover that a pair of binoculars doesn't have to
cost you a month's pay... you observe the birds who
visit your backyard feeder....and before you know
it ... you're hooked!
What comes next is the fire of curiosity and discovery.
You join your locale's email group
and meet fellow birders. With new companions, your
circle of exploration grows and you'll travel to see
birds in migration around the US....and beyond!
Maybe now you are seeking
pros to guide you. You have arrived at the right
place to satisfy your burning desire and pursue some
grand additions to your Life List.
Birding Tours and Adventures was added in 2006 to
All About Retreats, owned by two Mad
Birders,
living in the Mad
River Valley of Vermont.
Birding is one of the fastest growing hobbies in the
US...and it's about time! The more we love 'em, the
more we'll do to keep them healthy and thriving for
us to enjoy! |
