Melody's Birding Adventures
So Many Birds, So Little Time
​
In order to see birds, it is necessary to become part of the silence."
~Robert Lynd
Whether you are a birdwatcher or a bird nut like me, come have a Southern Arizona Adventure!
Each adventure is designed as a unique and personalized birding experience, with a schedule and pace tailored to your needs, No fifteen passenger van to crawl in and out of, plus lots of little extras a big tour company cannot offer, at about the same cost.
​
A bit of musing here, not meant to ruffle feathers, but perhaps a time to reflect. As we enter into migration, we birders can get in a bit of a hurry. . . this is when we use the tapes, toot a lot and pish to get the little ones to show their beauty. As a note of inquiry. . . I wonder if by using these methods when they are looking for a place to settle down and breed, if we are moving them off prime real-estate because they believe another virile male has already settled in. Let's face it those tapes sound pretty good even to those of the breeding species.
We cater to people unable or unwilling to do the rigorous schedule of a tour group. Lunch can be provided upon request.
We now accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express.
​
stay safe and stay healthy!! Hugs to all, Melody
