WINGS Birding Tours Worldwide

Australia: Queensland and New South Wales

Riflebirds, Reefs and Rainforests

Queensland is a vast state that stretches more than half the length of Australia’s east coast. It is fringed by the Great Barrier Reef and bordered to the south by coastal New South Wales. We’ll start the trip with three nights in Sydney where we will explore the best birding...

Panama: Spring at the Canopy Tower

Panama is one of those fortunate places where two great avifaunas meet. As one moves from the Costa Rican border east toward the Colombian border, Central American birds drop out and the truly Neotropical groups such as antbirds, woodcreepers, tyrant flycatchers, hummingbirds and tanagers begin to dominate. It all makes...

Colombia: The Santa Marta Mountains

Colombia is well known for its diversity of habitats and high level of bird endemism. This is especially true of the isolated mountains of Santa Marta in northeastern Colombia and the Guajira Peninsula on the Caribbean coast, where an impressive number of species can be seen. They include the beautiful...

Maine and New Hampshire

From Bicknell's Thrush to Atlantic Puffin

This tour visits one of the most beautiful and sparsely populated areas in North America near the peak of breeding bird activity. Maine and New Hampshire are an avifaunal crossroads, as many species reach their northernmost or southernmost breeding ranges here. We’ll spend time with both of these groups, focusing...

Costa Rica in July

Costa Rica packs more biodiversity within its borders than seems possible. A central spine of mountain ranges creates contrasting Pacific and Caribbean slopes, while ocean currents and prevailing winds create a drier north and wetter south. This complex geography produces an off-the-charts species richness for a country of its size....

Arizona: Owls and Warblers

Southeastern Arizona is one of North America’s great birdwatching destinations, particularly during mid-May when birdsong and breeding activity are typically at their peak. From the rich Sonoran Desert around Tucson to the lush cottonwood riparian habitat near Patagonia, the cool sycamore-lined canyons of the Huachuca Mountains, and the high-elevation forests...

Alaska: Majesty of the North

Alaska is a spectacular state with stunning snow-covered peaks rising out of flower-laden tundra and vast glaciers flowing into forest-lined fjords, and June is a wonderful month to search for the state’s special birds. We’ll begin in Nome where rolling tundra, rich in ptarmigans, jaegers, and shorebirds, merges with rugged...
