"The
trip to Panama
was just glorious.
First of all
I think that
Carlos
is an extraordinary
person: so smart,
unbelievable birder
and
he
treated us like
queens - he thought
of every detail
to insure that
we had a great
trip AND funny,
he is wickedly
funny! Both lodges
were great.
The view from
the Canopy Tower
was breath taking
and the Lodge
was so luxurious.
Thank
you so much
for taking such
good care of
us. Traveling
on your
trips
is always such
a pleasure
as you
are so very
organized and
thoughtful."

"We were enchanted by the birds of Costa Rica and I was once again impressed by the professionalism, generosity, surprises and delights of a Sunrise Birding excursion. Having Steve along with his spot-and-know every bird expertise, and his 'natural child' sense of humor; your ability to find and identify, your casual grace, and the wonderful company all amounted to a perfect trip."

"Just a quick email following my return from the tour to let you know how much I enjoyed the Colorado trip. It was excellent from start to finish, exceeding my expectations bird-wise, and Joe and Luke did an excellent job throughout.
The other clients were a great bunch too . . . and having run into another tour group on the road I'm more than happy that I made the right choice of company!”

"Many thanks for your excellent trip report & photos from our Pyrenees visit. I really enjoyed the trip and would like to thank you both for making everything run smoothly. The birds, butterflies, moths and flowers were all brilliant, in spite of the wet weather at times. I hope Robin & our group will use Sunrise Birding again for another birding trip soon.

Who

ever
see
all
three
eiders

"After several minutes, it was Grevin who spotted the Quetzal in a tree. It had just eaten a fruit and stayed in the tree for 15-20 minutes until chased away by an Emerald Toucanet. We had great looks and it is every bit as spectacular as billed."
