We’ve enjoyed several excellent local excursions already, with many early fall migrants and several sightings of rare birds like White-faced Ibis<\/strong>, Eared Grebe<\/strong>, Sedge Wren<\/strong>, Eastern Towhee<\/strong>, Black-billed Cuckoo<\/strong> and Least Bittern<\/strong>. <\/em><\/p>\n

My lovely and talented wife, Nina Stavlund<\/a>, has created a blog highlighting our many adventures, including the recent summer\u00a0 excursions. Check it out: http:\/\/thevisualadventure.blogspot.com\/<\/a>

\nI hope you’ve been visiting my blog as well.

Although I’m still working on details, I’ve got lots of new tours to offer.
\nI’m especially excited to announce a new birding\/photography tour to Costa
\nRica next March. It’ll be a perfect balance between wildlife photography and
\nbirding, complete with in-depth photography instruction. Our small group
\n(Maximum 7) will always move at a relaxed pace while staying at the most
\ncomfortable and birdiest lodges in the country. To top it all off, we’ll
\nhave three guides available for the entire trip. Other destinations include
\na return to Antarctica and Africa.
\nCheck out my latest list of tours: http:\/\/www.tonybeck.ca\/tours.html<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve finally made some of my photographs available for purchase through
\n“Fine Art America”. I’ve posted several images there already. And, more will
\nbe added on a regular basis. Check it out. I hope you like what you see.
