    Cuba Nature and Culture: Western Itinerary

    Mar 3rd - 10th
    March 3, 2019 March 10, 2019

    Travel in a small group with local guides through less traveled parts of Cuba, the Caribbean's largest and most ecologically diverse island nation, home to 26 endemic birds: the world's smallest, the Bee Hummingbird; one of the rarest woodpeckers, Fernandina's Flicker; and the elusive Blue-headed Quail-Dove. While there will be daily opportunities for birding on this trip, our focus expands to include a range of Cuban fauna and flora, and the ecology and history of regions we visit. Enjoy opprtunities to swim and snorkel. Our Cuban guide will answer your questions and offer explanations that reflect Cuban history, politics, and topics related to daily living in Cuba. The program begins and ends in Havana, an unrivaled colonial city of the Americas. An optional one day/night extension in Havana is offered at the conclusion of the trip. This very popular option includes a guided orientation to Havana, and a guided historical walking tour of Old Havana, the city's hisstoric colonial center, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Havana abounds with historic sites, diverse architecture, museums, and art galleries, underscoring a cultural heritage and recently resurgent energy and verve that is uniquely Cuban.

    India Mar 17th - 31st, Bhutan Apr 1st - 6th
    March 17, 2019 April 6, 2019

    Blessed with an incredible diversity of birds, environments, and cultures, India offers an intense spectrum of avian riches. With more than 1,300 species recorded in India and representing 12,5 percent of the world's birds, 42 are endemic. While outdoors, a serious birder will not have a moment to relax, and the variety can be spoiling. From the Himalayan region, to desert, to marshes, to swamps, riverine, and woodlands birds, the list is endless. The Bhutan extension features a country covering an area roughly the size of Switzerland, offering opportunities for peace and solitude in a striking mountain setting. Lying in the eastern Himalayas, Bhutan is almost completely mountainous, with altitudes varying from 492 feet to 24,600 feet within a distance of less than 62 miles. Its northern border lies in the main Himalayan chain on the southern edge of the Tibetan plateau. Leader: Rob Taylor

    Blessed with an incredible diversity of birds, environments, and cultures, India offers an intense spectrum of avian riches. With more than 1,300 species recorded in India and representing 12,5 percent of the world's birds, 42 are endemic. While outdoors, a serious birder will not have a moment to relax, and the variety can be spoiling. From the Himalayan region, to desert, to marshes, to swamps, riverine, and woodlands birds, the list is endless. The Bhutan extension features a country covering an area roughly the size of Switzerland, offering opportunities for peace and solitude in a striking mountain setting. Lying in the eastern Himalayas, Bhutan is almost completely mountainous, with altitudes varying from 492 feet to 24,600 feet within a distance of less than 62 miles. Its northern border lies in the main Himalayan chain on the southern edge of the Tibetan plateau. Leader: Rob Taylor

    Blessed with an incredible diversity of birds, environments, and cultures, India offers an intense spectrum of avian riches. With more than 1,300 species recorded in India and representing 12,5 percent of the world's birds, 42 are endemic. While outdoors, a serious birder will not have a moment to relax, and the variety can be spoiling. From the Himalayan region, to desert, to marshes, to swamps, riverine, and woodlands birds, the list is endless. The Bhutan extension features a country covering an area roughly the size of Switzerland, offering opportunities for peace and solitude in a striking mountain setting. Lying in the eastern Himalayas, Bhutan is almost completely mountainous, with altitudes varying from 492 feet to 24,600 feet within a distance of less than 62 miles. Its northern border lies in the main Himalayan chain on the southern edge of the Tibetan plateau. Leader: Rob Taylor

    Owl Prowl


    March 29, 2019

    Join conservation biologist Jim Arrigoni and Stefan Martin, local expert birder on a short nocturnal foray to the edge of the expansive forest at Deer Pond Farm, where we will broadcast the calls of a few of our native owl species to see if we can elicit a response. We’ll also discuss the characteristics and ecology of different owl species, and the ethics of     birdwatching in the era of birding apps and Bluetooth speakers. Be sure to dress warmly, and bring a flashlight or headlamp. Sighting or hearing an owl cannot be guaranteed.

    Allow for an average of two hours and 1.5 -2 miles. Dress for the weather. Think head, hands and feet!  Wool hats, gloves and socks are really good choices. Bring water bottle, walking stick, binoculars, camera and a sense of adventure.  Inclement weather cancels.
