I am a novice birder and this was my first birding trip. The numbers of birds we saw and the numerous sites for viewing were excellent. The Program Leaders were very knowledgeable and supportive. I highly recommend this Program for birders of all levels of experience and knowledge.

Perfect for birdwatching. Lots of locations to explore and a large variety of bird species.

Enthusiastic team leaders Doug W and Larry D made this a great trip ; an excursion that I had hoped to do back in 2020 until Covid forced cancellation . Enjoyed many of the locations particularly the National Eagle Center at Wabasha , our outing to Whitewater State Park and the Minnesota Valley NWR in Bloomington . Recent flooding may have reduced the number of bird species seen but a count in excess of 80 in five days was wonderful
