| Partnership for International Birding Update: May 27, 2009 The Partnership for International Birding now combines the best of effective local logistical operators (such as Neblina Forest Tour), some of the world's best bird guides (Lelis Navarrete, Johnnie Kamugisha and Patrick Cardwell), and a number of other key partners to bring our customers a wide variety of choices to meet their bird watching travel needs.
In every country we work, we have developed strong and effective relationships with the top local bird watching guides. The best value in every trip is the top local guide who spend nearly every week of the year listening and learning more and more about where different bird species can be found. Their expertise will allow you to see more bird species each day and provide a foundation for learning more about the habitats and natural world you will be visiting. All of our trips are designed for small groups (6 to 8 participants), allowing everyone an excellent opportunity to see the bird species they desire and to have excellent support from guides and hosts. Each year, we continue to expand the scope of our services, developing new effective partnerships around the world to support your bird watching needs. As of this web version, I know I am missing a few trips, but keep checking here for more 2009 and 2010 plans. Please email us at info@PIBird.com. Call most anytime to 1-888-203-7464 and let us know what you are looking for. We love to hear from our customers. |
