Here's what people are saying about our birding adventures...
“The Southwest Florida birding program was wonderful. We saw almost 100 different bird species and went to a variety of habitats in the area. The Road Scholar accommodations were excellent and the food was good too. Our instructor was extraordinary with her vast knowledge of the area, her kind personality, and her successful efforts to keep us “birders” on schedule. I highly recommend this program to any level of bird watching!”
— Cornelia from Seattle, WA
“This was an exciting program. We saw over 100 bird species and I became very comfortable identifying shore birds which have always been difficult for me. Most of the other participants were like me, “casual, but interested” birders. The instructors were enthusiastic about teaching and were not at all intimidating.”
— Joan from Northridge, CA
