Melody's  Birding Adventures

(So Many Birds, So Little Time)

Birding with a Personal Touch

 Whether you are a birdwatcher or a bird-a-holic (like your guide), come and join Melody Kehl and her local expertise.  With  years of poking around Arizona (particularly Southern Arizona) and running Outdoor Adventures since 1991, she knows where the birds are!!   Each adventure is designed with a schedule and pace tailored to give a unique and personalized birding experience.  We cater to people unable to do the rigorous schedule of a tour group. 

Maximum group size is 4 people, except through special arrangements.   

Whether you are looking for just a day of birding,  or looking for that elusive nemesis bird or a week-long all inclusive tour of Arizona,  talk to us.  Just think . . . no 15 passenger van to crawl in and out of,  just you and me  to share the experience with, plus all of the extras a big tour company can not offer. 

Costs are $200 for one person per 10 hour day, plus gas. 

Add $25.00 for each additional person. 

Over 10 hours, add $15.00 per hour. 

Included is transportation via a  4x4 Ford Explorer and lunch.

Migration is in full swing.  I wonder what is in store for us this year.    The flowers are gorgeous.  Black-capped Gnatcatchers should be setting up for their first breeding of the season. 

Big Flame is back for his 6th season.  No female Flames yet. . . he is chasing any female tanager he sees.  A second Flame is being seen in Miller Canyon.

The Buff-collared Nightjar is in and we are beginning to lead trips into the canyon to enjoy this wonderful bird.  We will also try for the Five-striped Sparrow each time we go in.  Generally, two cars are taken in for safety sake.  The road is better this year, so your teeth are safe in your head.

 We continue to praise the Great Birding God and thank him for smiling down upon us.

My optics are sponsored by Leica.  The scope , an angled APO Televid 77 with a zoom lens, and the 8x42 Ultravids are the best I have  had the opportunity to enjoy.  I  highly recommend them.
