It’s here!

Alongside our full range of regularly scheduled tours worldwide, WINGS also has a long history of arranging private birding experiences for visitors to our home base in Tucson. We’re not alone in providing guiding services here: the four counties that make up the birder’s southeast Arizona are home to a large number of excellent and experienced professional guides.

To make it easier for traveling birders to connect with the best of those local guides, WINGS has created a new online reservation service. Free to all users, AZ-Birding.com lets you select your dates and, if you wish, specify a guide; the new website also provides some very useful trip-planning tools to help you get the most out of your visit.

Once you’ve made your reservation, all further arrangements, including payment details, are handled directly by you and your guide. There is no additional charge to you for making your reservation at AZ-Birding.com.

Now’s a great time to try our service out. In just the past few days, a Blue Mockingbird has appeared near Douglas, the Patagonia Sinaloa Wren is still being seen, Black-capped Gnatcatchers have been reported from several locations, Patagonia Lake has hosted a Rufous-backed Robin…it just never ends here in southeast Arizona.

If you have any questions, please give me a call at the WINGS office, or simply visit AZ-Birding.com for full details on using this new service.
