Information About My Birding Trips is Found Here
Starting in 1984 and continuing through 2016, I have traveled the world in search of many special birds including an attempt to see at least one bird in each of the 250 non-extinct bird families that are now recognized.
In this section I provide factual information about various trips, not necessarily in chronological order. I will provide information about what new families I saw on the trips as well as other special birds. To see the actual individual family accounts as they are written, click this button Bird Families
