Birders Who've Been There
This was a great experience for a couple of backyard birders. The trip was well organized, with excellent restaurants and lodgings. Seven in the group — us, one beginner, and several seasoned birders. Every person was very friendly and helpful to us. It was low key and great for beginners and experienced alike. We saw many birds we'd only seen in books! Great value and would highly recommend!
Took a day tour to the C. Minor Clark Fish Hatchery, which has around 100 ponds, including mudflats that draw in migrating shorebirds. We spotted a Dunlin, sandpipers, Green Herons, and Tree Swallows zipping around. A highlight was an Eastern Wood-Pewee nesting near the entrance. We learned a lot during the trip, and I'd recommend Premier Birding Tours to anyone interested in exploring the area's birdlife.
