Nestling Tours 2009: We are just starting to plan our 2009 Schedule (here in November 2007)
- Our small group (6 to 8 participants) trips or
Covey of Adults will include trips to nearly every continent.
- Several South American destinations (Bolivia,
Brazil, Ecuador from Quito, Southern Ecuador, and Peru ) will have Lelis Navarrete as the main bird guide with American hosts. We will probably add a trip to Venezuela, as well.
- Ted Floyd (author of the upcoming Smithsonian
Guide to North American Birds and the editor of Birding Magazine) has indicated he will host our Uganda 2009 trip. Ted will get great support from a number of local guides.
- We will continue to work with Patrick Cardwell and
develop trips to South Africa and Namibia. Patrick is based in South Africa and uses a host of local birding guides for each destination.
- Harry Fuller is developing an interesting 2 or 3 week
European trip, using local guides and hitting great birding locales in Spain and Portugal with an extension to France.
- A trip to Sri Lanka is being developed by John
Drummond and is sure to be garner a lot of interest early on. Drummond (or Che as I call him) knows the birds there, but will rely on a number of local guides. This will be an excellent trip.
- As of this web version, I know I am missing a few
trips, but keep checking here for more 2009 plans or email us at travel@nestlingtours.com or call us at
