Testimonials |
“The Black Swamp/Magee
Marsh/Crane Creek/Ottawa National Wildlife
Refuge area of Northwest Ohio is my FAVORITE
birding spot in all of North America in May!
I cannot wait. This is going to be so much
fun!”
~ Greg Miller
Birder portrayed in the best selling book
and
upcoming Hollywood movie, The Big Year.
|
"The
Biggest Week in American Birding offers the
most exhilarating, yet accessible spring
birding imaginable among many of North
America’s most experienced and entertaining
birders. What more could you want?"
~Mike Bergin,
10,000 Birds |
