For over 30 years, I have been an enthusiastic bird guide for birding and nature tours around Saskatchewan and other parts of Canada. I enjoy showing clients the special unique birds and spectacular scenery found within prairie grasslands, wetlands, forests and urban regions. I am a past president of our local and provincial nature societies and regularly lead their field trips. I have co-edited reference publications for Birds of Saskatoon and have contributed significantly to different birding books specific to the Saskatchewan region. I am currently a regional coordinator for the provincial Breeding Bird Atlas project and help with their bird identification workshops. I regularly contribute bird sightings to online birding platforms and currently hold the record for the most bird species seen in Saskatchewan. 30 years experience as a birding tour guide for a variety of organizations. Hold M.Sc. degree in Astronomy. Travellers will need to drive themselves in a rented or personal vehicle while the leader travels in a separate vehicle during the tour. We will talk via cell phone.

Observe ducks, grebes, shorebirds and marsh birds near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Overview of your Saskatoon tour
Join me for a 4 hour drive to visit some of the best bird-rich lakes in the Saskatoon region. We will visit a couple of deep lakes to observe various diving ducks, grebes and pelicans. We will also visit shallow prairie sloughs and marshes to see or hear a variety of dabbling ducks, rails and marsh songbirds. Avocets, Wilson's Phalaropes and other nesting shorebirds should be seen on all summer tours. This tour is offered from May to early September. Based upon my longtime experience as a birding guide, the greatest variety of nesting water birds occurs between late May and August. Many migratory shorebirds may also be observed during late May, July, August and early September. Migratory waterfowl peak in Autumn. Tour proceeds support the local Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation charity.
