Testimonials
"Steve Rooke is one of the finest tour leaders I have ever traveled with. He is extremely knowledgable about the birds and the country, very sensitive to the needs of members of the group, always approachable with problems and questions, and has a great sense of humor. I genuinely enjoyed doing the tour with him and would not hesitate to travel with him again."
