Vancouver Tours

Michael has over 25 years of experience birding in the Vancouver, BC area and really likes to share this beautiful country with visitors and locals. We have several ecosystems within a 2 hour drive of the Vancouver airport that boast some of the best birding in North America. British Columbia's west coast is home to several birds that are only found in this part of the world, including the Pacific Wren, Chestnut-backed chickadee, Steller’s Jay, and Hutton’s Vireo to name a few. The Vancouver area is a very important stop on the Pacific Flyway and is home for many wintering birds that make their way south to the Fraser River Delta.

What People Are Saying Behind Our Back
​
We had a magnificent morning birding with Mike. Not only is he amazingly knowledgeable about birds, but he is very funny. He was fantastic at hearing and identifying the birds and then finding them and directing us clearly enough for two novice birders to follow and spot the birds. When I booked the morning Mike asked a number of questions about me and about what we hoped for from the morning. He planned accordingly. The morning was a huge success. We are in the process of planning a second outing. I would highly recommend birding with Mike to birders of all levels of experience or even to people who are not birder but love nature and want a bit of an adventure.

I had the privilege to spend a morning birding with Mike in Vancouver. He is such a knowledgeable person and so excited to share with others not only identifying the birds but also their behavior, the ecology of the area and other facets of the natural history. Being from the east coast, USA.  I was so eager to hear all he had to tell and was more than satisfied. Mike is the best!!
