WHAT'S NEW

December 2023 - India and Sri Lanka Birding Tours - We've added tours to India, an exciting destination that we can offer at very good prices. One tour covers the north including several tiger reserves. Another covers the endemic-rich Western Ghats Mountains. A third covers both the Western Ghats and the remote Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. In addition, we've added a tour to Sri Lanka with optional whale watching, which can be combined with our Western Ghats tour.

December 2023 - Bolivia Birding Tours - We've added three birding tours to Bolivia. Our standard tour covers the usual birding sites between Santa Cruz de la Sierra and La Paz. Our extended tour also visits the less traveled area of Apolo north of La Paz. Our month-long mega tour covers Apolo and the pampas and Amazon lowlands of the Beni region as well.

December 2023 - Bhutan Birding Tours - We've added two birding tours to Bhutan to take advantage of the temporary reduction in the sustainable development tax assessed on all visitors to this incredible country. We can offer this tour at a really good price by using an expert Bhutanese birding guide rather than a foreign national to guide the tours.

November 2023 - West Indies - We've added checklist data for the West Indies.

November 2023 - 2023 Clements Update - The latest update to Clements checklist was recently published and our database has been updated accordingly. An overview including new species and species splits can be found here.

September 2023 - Central Peru Trip Report - We've added two tours to central Peru and also a trip report of our recent birding tour conducted there in August. Central Peru offers many endemics not possible elsewhere in Peru. It's a superb destination but a bit more challenging due to lack of infrastructure devoted to birders. It's necessary to stay in local moderately priced hotels and sometimes rustic lodges.

April 2023 - Argentina Birding Tours - We're now offering birding tours to Argentina. Our Southern Argentina tour covers the pampas south of Buenos Aires and Patagonia all the way south to Tierra del Fuego. Our Northwest Argentina Tour covers the endemic rich cloud forests, highlands, and chaco of northwestern Argentina all the way to the border with Bolivia.

February 2023 - New Birding Locale Maps Update - We have updated our maps of birding locales for both country pages and tour pages using Google maps.

February 2023 - Target Bird Lists Update - We have updated our lists of target birds with a more restrictive definition. For more information see our ABOUT Checklists page. We have also added species counts for presence, status, distribution, and likelihood of targets being seen code tables on our checklist pages.

January 2023 - Checklist Update - We've updated many of our checklists with more complete data. We've also added new lists of species in accessible locations and also species only likely to be seen by visiting remote areas.

January 2023 - Laura Fellows - The memorial website for my late beloved wife's life was on a website that no longer functions, so it has been added to her biography page under our ABOUT menu.

January 2023 - Bhutan and India - We've added information about birding in Bhutan. We'll be birding Bhutan in April 2024 and may add a tour to this fascinating, out-of-the-way destination thereafter. We've also added information about birding in northern India and will be birding there in March 2025 as well.

November 2022 - IUCN Redlist Update - We've updated our database to indicate more accurately current red list status of species indicating whether they are critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, or near-threatened based on the International Union of Conservation of Nature website.

November 2022 - Bolivia Birding - We intend to offer birding tours to Bolivia shortly. Meanwhile, information about birding in Bolivia has been added to the website. Read more »
