We had a great time finding birds with Eric. He was very knowledgeable. Anytime he saw a new bird, he would make sure that each individual saw them.

We booked a private half day tour with Eric late September. We are not bird expert and only starting to get out and make some observation, so a full day seemed long for us. Not being from BC, we wanted to see birds that we don’t see in Québec. It was not the perfect warm and sunny day, but Eric knows the region and we made nice encounter. Eric is the perfect guide, even talking to us in French, giving us nice information about the birds, the regions, and the nature of the area. At the end we had a very nice surprise. Next time, we will definitely book a day tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 1/2 day trip with Eric looking for rare birds. He is extremely knowledgeable about birds: identification by sound and sight, and their habitat. I was delighted with my photos. We used two vehicles and walkie talkies between stops - a nice touch. We highly recommend tours with Eric and plan on returning next spring.
