South Florida Birding Trips

Birding Tours throughout South Florida are available every weekend of the year, except if I have a prior booking with a different customer or I am outside of the state.

All the birding tours are customized and can be catered to give the participants chances to find specific targets for their ABA list or to search for other wildlife and natural scenery that makes this part of the world unique.
