Guiding for Naturalist Journeys

Dear Friends:

I am proud to announce that, in 2021, I began leading multi-day tours through the respected tour company, Naturalist Journeys. Their broad client base, extensive tour repertoire, and progressive business philosophy align perfectly with the goals I have established for Paradise Birding over the past 27 years.

What will happen to Paradise Birding?

Don’t worry! Paradise Birding is not going away. I am redirecting my efforts and will continue to offer private tours, as well as a few select domestic and international trips. For more information on Paradise Birding tours, in Oregon or elsewhere, visit this page. Groups are welcome!

Join Steve and Naturalist Journeys on an upcoming tour!
