Hi everyone!
So perhaps like a few of you out there, I’ve yearned to kick life’s everyday responsibilities to the curb and setting off to go do a Big Year.
Imagine, traveling the US in search of new birds as much as possible!
See the country, eat in local restaurants, sleep in odd hotels, AirB&Bs or even in the car when the situation calls for it.
Really embrace that living in the moment feeling of satisfaction when laying eyes on a new bird for the first time after traveling a thousand miles to see it.
Swoon!!!
Sounds like a dream come true 😉

But for now, as a grounded mom of two and a business owner, I’ve got to sit tight and wait for the opportunity to come where I can take off a year to do that.
Sigh..
Still just because I can’t hit the road today doesn’t mean that I can’t get out there to visit all of those dream birding spots over the next year in short trips.
Plus traveling with likeminded birding /photographer friends makes for a much better time!

That’s why I’ve been working on putting together some new tours across the US including this one next April 27th & 28th, 2023 on High Island, Texas!
Yep.
That High Island!
It’s the location of that epic bird fallout scene in the movie “The Big Year”.
With an eBird list topping over 300 species of birds combined with woods, wetlands and raised boardwalk paths, it’s easy to understand why High Island TX is the crown jewel of Gulf cost birding.
Especially during spring migration!
Pretty sweet, huh?
Heck the only downside is that I have to wait until next April to go lol!!

This tour will be held over a course of two days in multiple locations along the Bolivar Peninsula during spring migration.
