What People are Saying

  • I have had the privilege of birding numerous times all over the Tahoe Basin with Kirk. He loves helping others pursue their passion for birding and the outdoors. He is congenial, thorough and shares his extensive knowledge for a great learning experience at all levels. Found me my first Pine Grosbeak!
     
     
     
  • Kirk is a passionate birder as well as being able to guide groups so naturally. After each adventure with him, I left feeling that I’d learned a lot, saw and heard a ton of birds, met great people, and had been well taken care of by Kirk.
  • Thank you so much Kirk! It was an absolute blast birding with you. We learned so much and were able to better identify the birds we were seeing the rest of the weekend. Thank you for the wonderful birding experience.
  • As a former high school science teacher, I was very impressed with how Kirk engaged the audience and caught their attention. He came fully prepared with physical models and background information. He had handout papers that expanded on the information he presented. The North Lake Tahoe Demonstration Garden is looking forward to having him teach us again.
  • Kirk picks out birds amongst leaves and hears distant birds that I and most others completely miss. He has a very pleasant personality that makes every outing fun.
  • We truly enjoyed our trip with you this morning. Your knowledge of local birds and precisely where to find them was invaluable. I got five lifers with you today! My bud remarked on the incredible database good birders have to maintain in their heads. His brother is a docent at Sapsucker Woods in Ithaca, NY and he was impressed by his account of our morning.
