Due to the tremendous time requirements of doing a Big Year, we will not be offering any birding tours or guide services in 2012. However, if you are traveling to the Rio Grande Valley or Southeast Arizona and we happen to be home at the time, drop us a line and we will try to go birding with you. The more, the merrier!
Some of the destinations the we have offered in years past, under the name of Vamonos! Nature Tours were:
the Rio Grande Valley
the Texas Gulf Coast
a variety of locations in Mexico (no longer recommended due to the situation there)
and South Africa.
Hi! We met your friends in Weslaco in January (at church)..they told us about your year..we will be in High Island the week you plan to be there.( we will be there April 16-21)…any chance we could meet? we plan to do a “mini-bigyear” next year!
I am going to be in Tuscon on April 18th through 23rd. I am coming from Salt Lake city and looking for some good places to bird.
The best things to do are get the Southeast Arizona Birding Guide (“Lane Guide”), join the Arizona bird listserve (BIRDWG05), and check the eBird map that is available on birdingonthe.net. Our personal favorites are: Patagonia Lake State Park, Patagonia/Sonoita Creek Preserve, Paton’s House, Box Canyon Road and Madera Canyon, Cave Creek, Portal/Paradise, and Saguaro National Monument.
