USA Birding Tours

Our United States birding tours essentially cover all corners of this vast country and allow you to enjoy a range of spectacular birds and wildlife. From sea to shining sea, the United States of America offers an incredible diversity of habitats and bird species, the dream of any bird watcher. From the Eastern Seaboard across the rolling Appalachian Mountains across the wide-open plains of the Midwest into the towering Rockies and across the arid desert-like western areas – the continent of North America offers a very wide range of habitats to explore, most of which we visit on our USA birding tours. The USA is set up with a fantastic system of national parks, national wildlife refuges, state parks, national forests, and even local parks that birds and birders take advantage of. This great diversity offers amazing birding in all seasons, so there is never a bad time to visit. Read on for a quick trip through the United States and what our USA birding tours have to offer.

Our United States of America birding tours start in winter as we visit the snow-covered boreal forest and mighty Lake Superior in Minnesota. Here we search for many birds of prey and other boreal specialties that make the quiet forest their winter home, like Great Grey Owl ,  Snowy Owl ,  Northern Hawk-Owl ,  Evening Grosbeak , and more. Just don’t forget your coat! From the snow of the north we make our way to South Texas in March to catch a great combination of resident specialties, early stages of migration, and wintering species like the endangered  Whooping Crane . April and May welcome a spectacular influx of migratory birds starting their journeys from the Neotropics to their northern breeding grounds. Florida is the first stop on their tiring expedition, and some species do not make it much further, like  Grey Kingbird  and  Black-whiskered Vireo . The pristine beaches, swamps, and marshes of the Everglades and a trip down the Florida Keys and to Dry Tortugas National Park provide an impressive array of seabirds, waders, and migrants. Of course, the colorful and bright wood warblers are unforgettable, so we head to the shores of Lake Erie in Ohio. This birding excursion offers the amazing opportunity to score all 37 species of eastern warblers, such as  Blackburnian ,  Bay-breasted ,  Cerulean ,  Kirtland’s , and  Golden-winged Warblers . It is no wonder that the largest bird festival in the world is hosted here annually as migratory birds flood the Midwest in May.

The summer months focus on the northern US with species finally arriving at their breeding territories. The coasts and marshes of Maine feature some fantastic breeders like  Atlantic Puffin  and  Saltmarsh Sparrow . Some 4000+ miles from Maine bring us to the vast and beautiful expanses of the tundra in Alaska. The majestic beauty and peacefulness here are second to none and play host to many amazing breeding specialties as well as incredible mammals.  Bristle-thighed Curlew ,  Bluethroat ,  Emperor Goose , and  Grizzly Bear  are just a few of the amazing targets and highlights. Moving into late summer and early fall, Southeast Arizona begins its monsoon season, turning the once barren desert and scrubland landscape into a luscious green teeming with flowers. In the hummingbird capital of the US, with up to 15 species, the feeding stations and birding trails come to life with nesting activity.  Rivoli’s ,  Lucifer , and  Violet-crowned Hummingbird  are only a few of the long list of species on display in Arizona. Fall migration is now underway, and there is no better place than California. This massive state offers an incredible number of habitats with coastal marshes, redwood forests, expansive grasslands, mountains, and even an incredible display on pelagics. Catching resident specialties mixed in with western fall migrants makes for some truly epic bird watching.  Black-footed Albatross ,  White-headed Woodpecker ,  Mountain Bluebird , and  California Condor  are just a small taste of what this amazing state has on offer. The end of fall brings us back to winter, and we start the amazing journey across the United States all over again.

North America is one of the most scenically spectacular continents, and it is also teaming with wildlife in addition to birds: moose, elk, bears, mountain goats, and so much more. Join us in exploring this rich wilderness!

Testimonials from our usa birding tours.

Maine is beautiful, whether you’re on the shore or inland, and this tour showed us the best of both. Experiencing the variety of habitats with a knowledgeable guide and great companions was just what we needed after a year of not travelling. Jacob was a great leader for our group, making sure we saw the birds we wanted, but also on the look-out for mammals or letting us slow down to enjoy the wildflowers.

Jacob is an excellent birder and has great people skills. Both are needed in a good guide. He knew his stuff and put up with all the joking but was serious when it came to the birds. Would definitely tour with him again.

Every aspect of this tour was great. First of all, you must have cornered the market on great young tour guides, because Jacob was wonderful. Obviously an excellent birder, he was patient with us over 70 crowd members (we teased him about nobody over 70 ever again), enthusiastic and had a great sense of humor. He is very easy to be around, making all feel comfortable. Of course, the pelagic trip was, for us, the high point. We would suggest that you make the trip to Vinalhaven a regular part of the tour, and add Captain John Drury a must. He was a real character, and took special pains to make sure we saw all that we could see...even the Red-billed Tropicbird. And the trip up Mt. Washington was so very interesting, with all the vegetation changes as the altitude changed. AND we got the Bicknell's Thrush! Maine, from the mountains to the sparkling waters perfectly describes this tour, as it encompassed a wide variety of habitat and birds. Definitely a must if you want to see some hard-to-get species.

If you want to see great views of Chickens and Grouse at their leks, then this is the tour for you. Early mornings are no problem when you experience up-close views of these magnificent birds. Don't forget the other birds found in Colorado, this tour goes out of its way to find them all – and it doesn't disappoint.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Minnesota birding tour with Jacob Roalef of Birding Ecotours in January of 2022. The tour was very easy to book, and the ongoing communication with the corporate office and with our guide, Jacob was exceptional. I always got a prompt response to email questions, which was important and reassuring. Jacob was extremely knowledgeable of the local area and the various birding hotspots in order to give us the best opportunity of locating the various species we had all come to see. I would highly recommend this tour!

Jacob was patient, funny, talked to all the participants, and made sure all members got on the birds. Jacob gave me good looks at and information on two life birds, Glaucous and Iceland Gulls. He was also an excellent driver, especially on the last day when we drove from Grand Marais in a snowstorm.

A great overview of Minnesota winter birding. Although the list of potential birds is somewhat limited because of the weather, the quality of what we did see more than made up for lack of quantity. Eleven of the 44 birds I saw were lifers, including Great Grey Owl, Boreal Chickadee, Pine Grosbeak, Sharp-tailed Grouse and more. Most spectacular was I saw my first Bohemian Waxwing and then about 1,000 more as part of a massive flock, feeding on berries throughout the town of Grand Marais. We were able to experience that over two straight days.

I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in seeing the beautiful endemic birds of Hawaii before they are gone, and enjoying the natural beauty of the islands. Mandy Talpas, the local guide, did an excellent job sharing her vast knowledge of the endemic birds, their habitat, and the diseases that are threatening them. Jacob Roalef, who also shared his vast knowledge of the birds, and Mandy were very attentive to everyone’s needs, which included 8 participants with varying degrees of birding experience. The beauty of the islands and endemic birds, as well as the camaraderie of the participants and guides made this tour one of the best for me! The accommodations and foodwere great too!

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in seeing Hawaii’s native birds on these beautiful islands. One of my favorites was the endangered Akiapolaau, referred to as Aki by our guides, which we saw in a restricted area by permit on the island of Hawaii. The Hawaiian name means “hammerhead,” because the Aki uses the shorter, lower half of it’s mandible to drill into tree trunks like a woodpecker for sap or insects, while the extended, curved upper half operates like a hook to extract the food. During our day spent exploring the restricted area for Hawaii’s endemic birds, three non-endemic (two males and one female) Kalij Pheasants walked across the path right in front of me. I also loved the fantastic coastal views where we observed Red-tailed, White-tailed, and Red-billed Tropicbirds, Red-Footed and Brown Boobies, and Great Frigatebirds, as well as spouting and breaching Humpback whales. I also enjoyed the opportunity to see Laysan Albatross nesting and walking around an upscale neighborhood, and Bristle-thighed Curlews perched in the cemetery from the golf course.

Our guides, Jacob and Mandy, were a great team! This was my second tour with Jacob and I was very impressed with his knowledge of the endemic birds of Hawaii. He is very personable and his birding skills are excellent. Mandy is also very personable and an excellent birder. She shared her extensive knowledge of Hawaii, the endemic birds, their habitat and the dangers they are facing.

The Southeast Arizona tour is in the perfect area to see the maximum number of species and rarities. This tour has the perfect guide, Jacob Roalef, who works diligently to make sure that each participant sees all the birds he finds. This tour has the perfect number of participants to have fun, share knowledge and get to know each other. I would highly recommend this tour! Jacob was an outstanding guide and I can’t say enough good things about him!. First, he knew the birds and could identify them by ear and sight. He made sure that each of us saw the bird(s) he had heard, seen or scoped. He also provided information about field marks, habitat, behavior and other interesting facts about the birds. Additionally, he knew a lot about the environment and gave us good context for the area that our tour covered. He was very diligent in finding the rarities, and then persistent until we saw them. Jacob also was very perceptive about each individual on the tour and gave equal attention to each of us based on our skill level in birding and our personal quirks. He is fun and funny, patient and well-organized and a safe and good driver. I innocently asked if there had ever been a flat tire on ones of his tours and that jinxed us because we indeed had one at 7,800 feet after a rain. Jacob was cool, calm and collected and what could have been a disaster ended with hilarity and a Band-tailed Pigeon. He facilitated and contributed to the camaraderie and banter that our group shared. I hope to go on another tour that Jacob guides.

Scheduled Tours

Designed for birders and nature enthusiasts, Rockjumper tours are paced to best suit the destination and the goals of the specific tours. Some are designed to cover ground and maximize the number of bird species seen, while others are at a more relaxed pace and amplify a particular experience, be that other kinds of wildlife or enriching cultural aspects of an area. Tours like South Africa – Cape Wildflowers, Birding & Big Game or South Africa – Birds, Wine & Big Game, are about a lot more than just the birds. Of course, we see many birds on these tours including regional specialties and endemics, but the focus is broader and the pace more relaxed. Our Colombia – 1000 Birds Mega tour, on the other hand, is about trying to see as many birds as possible in an exceptionally bird-rich country. Nestled between these ends of the tour spectrum rest the balance of our tours, designed to maximize the experience without feeling rushed. We always make a point to include salient highlights in a region, be it the Taj Mahal and Tigers of India, Jaguars in Brazil, Lemurs in Madagascar, or the Sphinx and Pyramids of Egypt. We offer still more through our sister companies – Rockjumper Wildlife Tours, Out of Bounds Tours and Tau Anthropological Tours, and through Rockjumper’s Tailor-made Tours too.

Join us for birding tour fun, Friday at Fish Point

April 03, 2024

Ducks, swans, shorebirds and raptors – don't miss your chance to see these and other beauties Friday morning on a Michigan Department of Natural Resources-guided birding tour along the coastal wetlands of Fish Point State Wildlife Area in Tuscola County. 

Consisting of 2,477 acres of exceptional waterfowl habitat, Fish Point is also an Audubon Important Bird Area and is one of Michigan’s premier Wetland Wonders . On the Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron, Fish Point is an important coastal wetland. Often referred to as the "Chesapeake of the Midwest," the area hosts over 230 bird species every spring and is an eBird hotspot!

More about Fish Point ►

The tour will start at 9 a.m. Friday, April 5, and all ages are welcome. Meet at the Fish Point State Wildlife Area field office, 7750 Ringle Road, in Unionville. The tour will take place by foot and via car caravan, depending on where birds are present. No RSVP is needed. Questions? Contact the DNR's Tammy Giroux at 989-674-2511. 

Other info:

• Restrooms and trash receptacles will be available at the field office.
• Bring your own binoculars or spotting scopes if you have them.
• Dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes; the tour may take place along unpaved trails and uneven ground. Please be aware that the trail system is not considered accessible under Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines.
• Participants are highly encouraged to download one or more of the following smartphone apps: eBird, iNaturalist, Merlin Bird ID or Audubon Bird Guide.

This bird tour is presented in partnership with MI Birds , a public outreach and education program by Audubon Great Lakes and the Michigan DNR. Birders and hunters share similar conservation values, but rarely cross paths. MI Birds aims to bridge the divide and deepen all Michiganders' engagement in the understanding, care and stewardship of public lands that are important for birds and local communities.

Hawaiʻi birding tour

April 2–11, 2024.

Hawaiʻi is a magical place for birdwatchers. The archipelago’s isolation and volcanic landscape have forged unique ecosystems that are home to dozens of bird species found nowhere else on Earth.

Guides and ABA staff:  1 Belizean lead guide and 1 ABA staff for up to 14 participants, 2 guides and 2 ABA staff for 15 to 20 participants

Birding pace:

Medium: The number of species and diversity may be limited compared to some continental birding locations, but this only allows us some more time to enjoy the scenery and highlight some of the history, geology, flora, and other fauna. The birds and wildlife endemic to Hawaiʻi can be difficult to track down, meaning that most outings will be target species driven, and although we don’t have long, grueling hikes in the itinerary, we can easily spend hours searching for just a few. As most of the nocturnal seabirds aren’t in accessible areas, meaning there is no night birding planned.

Photography opportunities:

Medium: Many of the endemic species we are targeting are endangered. We will NOT be using playback on any of the native species, whether they are endangered or not, especially since our tour is during the breeding season. We will use playback for non-native birds, especially skulking species like Hwamei, Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush, Japanese Bush Warbler, and Red-billed Leiothrix. Other species aren’t shy or afraid of people at all, like Laysan Albatross, and the sometimes inquisitive elepaios. 

Physical difficulty:

Medium: To reach the highland forests where the native birds are found and searching for pelagic birds by boat, will require us to start some of our days early, as we’ll want to be near our destinations before the typical Hawaiʻi trade wind patterns bring afternoon showers and light wind. Other departures will be more leisurely, but we do make sure we are out in the field when bird activity is highest and the heat and/or chance of rain is lowest. Much of our birding will be easy walking on roads, wide trails, standing, and boats. The Koʻolau valley trails, where we will search for Oʻahu ʻElepaio, can often be rocky, humid, slippery, muddy, and buggy with a gradual and slight elevation gain. The Alakaʻi, bordering Kōkeʻe, is a montane wet forest, with temperatures ranging from 50-80°F around 4,000 ft above sea level, and is still known to be one of the wettest places on Earth. Hakalau Forest NWR, where most of Hawaiʻi’s remaining endemic forest birds live, is also a montane rainforest. Even if it’s not raining, it will most likely be wet, slippery, and muddy with temperatures ranging from 50-70°F around 6,400 ft above sea level. Quick dry layers, sun protection, rain gear, and waterproof hiking shoes with good grip and ankle support are recommended. Birding along the coastlines will be within a short walk from the van. You should be able to easily get in and out of a van (sometimes repeatedly), and be comfortable walking at least two miles, some of it on slopes where traction may not be the best and where footing is uneven. You should be prepared to bird in hot and humid environments, expect some mud and rain, and realize the highlands can be quite brisk or even cool. Sea conditions on the pelagic trips can be quite warm and range from calm seas to moderately rough, so you must have decent balance and the ability to steady yourself on a moving boat. Those with balance and stability issues should bring collapsible walking sticks and those who find it difficult to stand for long periods of time should bring a small travel stool.

Detailed itinerary, april 2, 2024: arrival day in honolulu, oʻahu.

Upon arrival in Honolulu (HNL), get in touch with your pre-arranged shuttle to our hotel in Waikīkī, where has been reserved a room in your name. Check-in is any time after 3 pm. If you arrive early, you can easily stash your luggage with the hotel staff and walk across the street to enjoy birding in Kapiolani Park, walk less than a block to the world-famous Waikīkī beach, or wander into the heart of Oʻahu’s tourist district on foot to explore historic properties, souvenir shops, or local grinds and libations. 

We will gather in the lobby at 6 pm to meet new friends before our welcome dinner together.

Night in Waikīkī

April 3, 2024: Searching for endemic birds around Oʻahu’s south side

After breakfast at our hotel, we will leave the city behind and enter the rainforests of the Koʻolau Mountains in pursuit of Oʻahu’s endemic honeycreeper, the Oʻahu ʻAmakihi, before we stop in Kapiʻolani Park to admire visiting Pacific Golden Plovers and Honolulu’s city bird, the beautiful White Tern. While exploring the park we are sure to encounter a myriad of introduced species among the banyan and rainbow shower trees, such as Common Myna, Red-crested Cardinal, Red-vented Bulbul, Yellow-fronted Canary, Java Sparrow, Common Waxbill, Spotted Dove, Zebra Dove, and Rose-ringed Parakeet. After grabbing lunch to go from a local cafe we indulge along a rugged coastline amongst nesting Red-tailed Tropicbirds before we transcend down into a lush valley in search of the endangered Oʻahu ʻElepaio. While on our endemic bird adventure, we will most likely encounter Whtie-rumped Shama, noisy flocks of Red-billed Leiothrix, an occasional Red-whiskered Bulbul, and chattering Warbling White-eyes with a stop to admire. 

April 4, 2024: Birding Oʻahu’s north shore

Today we journey up the picturesque windward side to experience the serenity of Oʻahu’s North Shore in search of visiting shorebirds, such as the Wandering Tattler and sought-after Bristle-thighed Curlew. While cruising the coastline, famous for world-class surf beaches and secluded coves with basking sea turtles, we are sure to find some flashy finches, such as the Saffron Finch and Chestnut Munia. The North Shore is also home to some of the last family farms on Oʻahu with crops of coffee, cacao, eggplant, papaya, pineapple, apple banana, and even scattered shrimp farms with Black-crowned Night Heron, the endemic Hawaiian Coot, Common Gallinule (endemic subspecies), and Black-necked Stilt (endemic subspecies). 

April 5, 2024: Flight to Kauai and birding Kauai’s north shore

After breakfast we fly to Līhuʻe and discover the beauty of Kauaʻi ’s north shore in pursuit of impressive seabirds along Kīlauea Lighthouse NWR’s stunning coastline and more endemic water birds amongst Hanalei NWR’s historic loʻi ponds. While scanning the rugged cliffs of Kīlauea covered with Red-footed Boobies and surveying the skies for Brown Booby, spectacular Red-tailed and White-tailed tropicbirds, majestic Laysan Albatross, and soaring Great Frigatebirds, we will enjoy up close views of Hawaiʻi’s state bird, the Nene (Hawaiian Goose). We will then explore Hanalei valley’s lush important bird area for more of Hawaiʻi’s endangered water birds, such as the Hawaiian Duck.

Night in Kapaʻa

April 6, 2024: Birding Kōkeʻe on Kauaʻi    

We embark on a rainforest adventure with astounding views of Waimea Canyon, the Pacific’s Grand Canyon, on our journey into Kōkeʻe State Park to find Kauaʻi ‘s endemic Kauaʻi ʻ Amakihi, ʻ Apapane, ʻ Anianiau, and Kauaʻi ʻElepaio .

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .
