North America is the newest of the world's regions where we run tours. We were once reluctant to do so based on the assumption that you can do it alone, and because we preferred to concentrate on areas of the world that were difficult to visit without a good bird guide. While it is possible to do much of North America alone, we have realized that the attraction of a tour is not just the simplicity and ease of getting lots of birds; traveling with an expert guide as well as developing new friendships helps to transform trips to even familiar areas into birding adventures that you will treasure. It is about seeing lots of birds, having a ton of fun, and learning about the avifauna of this great continent.

The Tropical Birding commitment to expanding birding in the USA is exemplified by our new project, the Tropical Birding Information Center in High Island, Texas. Here, in conjunction with the Houston Audubon Society, we have free professional guides stationed for the spring migration season to help both novice and old timer birders experience the magic of spring migration on the Upper Texas Coast.
