One of our most popular tours! Join Oxford-trained ornithologist Duncan Evered for an insightful 8-hour field trip where we celebrate birds as our subject– their behaviour, ecology, migrations, digestion and, of course, their beautiful plumage.  Having lived and worked at the Malheur Field Station for over 20 years, this Brit offers a completely different perspective on Harney County’s birds.  With a pythonesque twist on The Meaning of Birding , with a bit of luck, you’ll learn that identifying birds need not be the end of the pursuit, but rather the beginning of a wonderfully fulfilling life experience.  Participants must at least pretend to like Elgar’s music and will get to sample Marmite done right -with some strong black tea during recovery.  Come hone your observation skills and also have a jolly good time!
