"I arranged, online from the UK, a day’s birding (August 2022) around Calgary with Gavin and had an outstanding trip focussing, at my request, mainly on the wetlands for peeps, shorebirds, waterfowl etc and then touching the edge of the prairie grasslands. Gavin despite his youth is an outstanding birder, with great enthusiasm and knowledge of the best locations and of course identification – often at distance! He is excellent company and conversationalist with a real passion for birds and wildlife. Going birding with Gavin is a delight." “Birding with Gavin is so incredibly rewarding, fulfilling, and fun! His enthusiasm for birding is truly authentic, and his knowledge is incredible! Gavin's ability to identify birds on the wing, his impressive recognition of vocalizations, his quick on the draw photography skills to confirm species, and his understanding of habitat and likely areas to have a variety of birds, are a few examples of what he provides. In addition, he is most willing to answer questions and help each member of the tour to not only see the birds, but to learn more about them. It was an absolute delight to have the opportunity to join him on the Saskatchewan Whooping Crane tour! I cannot wait for the chance to sign up for another!” "Absolutely unforgettable trip! The Owl of Alberta Photography workshop was the most amazing and memorable workshop I have ever attended. Both Liron and Gavin had taken us on five full-day field trips accompanied with great food stops! Everyday was an adventure and we ended up taking photos of Great Gray, Northern Hawk, Snowy, and Great Horned owls! In addition, the tour was full of surprises with other wildlife including bison, moose, plus one surprise animal, etc." “Our trip to see the whooping cranes was perfect. The group size worked well. The accommodations were convenient and very economical and comfortable. The places we went to were great with lots of birds being seen at each place. Gavin’s bird knowledge is very impressive and he did a great job as a leader and bird finder. I would definitely go on another tour with him.” I travelled to Point Pelee with Meadowlark Birding Tours for spring migration. Gavin is a brilliant, expert guide and knows the Pelee region very well. I saw so many bird species that I would never have found on my own. I also appreciated the small group size, which allowed for a quality experience. |
