Our REVIEWS

"Dorian was knowledgeable and a pleasure to bird with. We accumulated 63 species including a few lifers. His photography experience was helpful when trying to get the best shot. He is the third different guide I have had in three different states. I highly recommend American Birding Guides!
We had a great day with Ben in New Mexico. He was very knowledgeable and helped us to find the local birds so we could photograph. He was also very helpful in helping us identify the birds later. Would definitely recommend.
