Here's what people are saying about our birding adventures...
“This is a Road Scholar program to put on your top priority to-do list! The instructor is outstanding and the island is beautiful. Do you want to see humpbacks? Look for Foggy and her calf in the Bay of Fundy! And you do not want to miss “chain-sawing” with the Puffins south of Grand Manan Island. Highly recommend this one!”
— Rich from Little Rock, AR
“Excellent birding program with varied locations for the most species of birds. I highly recommend this program! I added three life birds to my list! The instructor is terrific birder and makes the experience quite enjoyable.”
— Karyn from Baden, PA
