For birders in their first couple of years who are ready to crack the next level — warblers, calls, migrants — without spending years grinding it out alone. So you can go from... Hearing birds everywhere and not knowing what any of them are... to confidently identifying warblers, shorebirds, and flycatchers by sight and by sound. Showing up to the same patch and finding the same species every time... to seeing 80–100+ species in a single weekend, including birds most people spend years chasing. Figuring it out alone with Merlin and a field guide... to birding shoulder to shoulder with someone who has spent over a decade learning this exact place. Watching migration pass you by year after year... to going home with an eBird checklist, real photos, and the skills to bird Point Pelee on your own next time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6917438f1f0d903bcc730489/1766758848198-MK7M9AUQHZLWMKSIIHHP/Screenshot+2025-12-26+at+9.20.38%E2%80%AFAM.png Upcoming Retreats - Point Pelee Spring Migration Birding Retreat - Make it stand out Migration comes once a year. Most birders spend it overwhelmed. Every May, Point Pelee fills with warblers that have crossed Lake Erie overnight — species that are genuinely hard to find anywhere else on the continent at any other time of year. The window is short and the birds are everywhere, which sounds incredible until you're standing in the middle of it not knowing where to look, what you're hearing, or why everyone else seems to be pointing at something you're not seeing. You hear a bird calling from the shrubs and pull up Merlin, but by the time you've got a match the bird is gone and you're not sure if it was right anyway. You've been birding for a year or two and you know the basics, but warblers still blur together and every flycatcher looks exactly the same as the last one. You know Point Pelee is supposed to be special, but the park is big and you don't know which spots are producing on any given morning, so you end up wandering. You can't commit to a week-long tour, but you also can't bring yourself to just skip migration again this year — a short window doesn't feel worth it without the right help. You've thought about hiring a guide but you don't know who to trust, whether it'll feel like a lecture, or whether you'll be holding a fast group back. What you actually want from a spring migration trip To see the birds you've been reading about — Prothonotary, Hooded, Blackburnian — with your own eyes, not just on someone else's eBird list. To come home knowing how to find these species again, not just lucky to have seen them once with a guide. To spend a weekend in nature without having to plan anything — someone else handles where to go, when to show up, and what to do if the weather shifts. To meet other birders at the same stage as you, people who get it, and feel like you belong in this hobby. To walk away with a life list that actually reflects what you're capable of seeing when you know where to look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6917438f1f0d903bcc730489/bac5cb4f-36b3-4b78-969b-98874e0b3ef5/Screenshot+2025-12-26+at+8.52.25%E2%80%AFAM.png Upcoming Retreats - Point Pelee Spring Migration Birding Retreat - Migration waits for no one.

Escape to one of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems where emerald green canopies meet misty mountain air. This isn't a rushed checklist tour—it's a week of discovery, rest, and connection in the heart of Costa Rica's legendary cloud forests. Over 9 incredible days and 8 nights, you'll wake to the songs of over 400 bird species, spot the legendary Resplendent Quetzal in its natural habitat, watch hummingbirds hover at eye level, and explore trails where every turn reveals a new bird or maybe a sloth. Between birding adventures, you'll have time to breathe, rest in hammocks overlooking the forest, enjoy exceptional Costa Rican cuisine, and remember what it feels like to truly unwind. This retreat balances birding with cultural immersion, nature walks, fantastic local food, and plenty of quiet time in one of the most beautiful settings on Earth. Come for the birds. Stay for the reset your soul desperately needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6917438f1f0d903bcc730489/63426ecf-98e3-4a67-a606-f14f8830903a/Screenshot+2026-02-11+at+9.25.19%E2%80%AFAM.png Upcoming Retreats - Costa Rica Cloud Forest Retreat Birding Retreat - Dates & Booking Retreat Dates: Nov 22 - 30, 2026 Arrival Day: Nov 22, 2026 - arrive at San José airport (SJO) by 5pm Departure Day: Nov 30, 2026 - San José airport (SJO) leave anytime this day Price $6,495 per person (based on double occupancy) Single Supplement $1,050.

Day 3: From Field to Glass, Take Two Another morning of fall birding. Wake up time will be dependent on how late the owl banding took us. Hawk migration is moving through the County at this time dozens to hundreds of Broad Winged Hawks, Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles are moving overhead. Flooded fields often draw in ducks, geese, and the occasional late-season rarity. The afternoon will be relaxed again at a different winery. The evening is reserved for Owl banding in case the previous night was curtailed due to weather.

To spend a weekend in nature without having to plan anything — someone else handles where to go, when to show up, and what to do if the weather shifts. To meet other birders at the same stage as you, people who get it, and feel like you belong in this hobby. To walk away with a life list that actually reflects what you're capable of seeing when you know where to look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6917438f1f0d903bcc730489/bac5cb4f-36b3-4b78-969b-98874e0b3ef5/Screenshot+2025-12-26+at+8.52.25%E2%80%AFAM.png Upcoming Retreats - Point Pelee Spring Migration Birding Retreat - Migration waits for no one.
