A productive and inspiring morning - Miss Smith was cooperative, professional, informative, helpful, attentive, and a delight to chat with about ornithology. I made a list of what I wanted to see, and Miss Smith drove us to locations where she showed me the birds I sought!

Great experience! - Rebecca was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable about the environments and species we saw. Hotel pickup made things much more convenient and we still had time to see a lot on a beautiful day.

Good guide who knows the area, birds and people. Recommended! - Beck found the birds she promised. She is a very nice lady, as good with people as she is with birds. In a wel timed trip she gave me many photo opportunities. And she heard many more birds, but the interesting species she allowed to make a picture of.

Becca Knows Birds - We started out walking through the pre-dawn woods to see if we could find red-cockaded woodpeckers. Sure enough, we stopped near a nest tree and just after sunrise those beautiful birds came out of their tree to greater the day and other RCWs. The tour just got better as the day went on, with Becca as the consummate guide who knows her birds by sight, sound, behavior, and habitat. She's a patient teacher too, always ready to answer a range of questions about the life patterns of different species to clarifying bird anatomy. I highly recommend Becca as an expert guide.

excellent! personalizable trip with knowledgeable guide. - Rebecca took us out on a great trip during which we saw the birds we wanted. Rebecca was very friendly and knowledgeable about the bird species in this area. and knew where to find them. She was also able to personalize the trip so that we didn't have to do much walking because my mum has bad knees. We had a good time. would recommend

Expert and Friendly Birding - I enjoyed seeing the Chuck-Will's-Widow shortly before dawn, a pleasant moment for a walk in central Florida. Later we saw my other target and Florida's only endemic bird, the endangered Florida scrub jay. We also encountered a long list of other species of marshes and pine scrub, typically at delightfully close range. Beck is a friendly and very knowledgeable guide who can save you a lot of time and trouble because she knows where the species of interest are to be found.
