Outside of MBWeekends and MBWeeks, please note that I have seldom been guiding individuals and groups in recent years. However, now that MBWeeks are being discontinued, private tours out-of-state might be of greater interest and become more frequent.
MINNESOTA
My fee is $20/hour total (not per person), regardless of the number of persons guided: i.e., 2 persons = $10/person/hour, 4 persons = $5/ person/hour, etc. The hours involved include the time spent birding or traveling.
There are additional charges for any personal expenses incurred while birding or traveling: i.e., meals, lodging (if away from Duluth overnight), and transportation (my vehicle is available @ 20¢/mile, gasoline included).
OTHER STATES/PROVINCES
Small groups of individuals can also be guided at other locations in the U. S. / Canada, where I have previously led MBWeeks or Victor Emanuel Nature Tours. These include:
• Arizona (i.e., the Phoenix area & southeast AZ)
• California (i.e., southern & central CA)
• Colorado (grouse leks in April)
• Florida (especially south FL, including the Dry Tortugas)
• Manitoba (including Churchill)
• Nebraska (Sandhill Cranes in March)
• Newfoundland & Nova Scotia
• North & South Dakota (especially Kidder Co. & southwest ND; the Badlands /
Black Hills region in SD)
• Ontario-Ohio-Michigan (i.e., Point Pelee, Magee Marsh, Kirtland’s Warblers,
and Whitefish Point)
• Texas (especially South Texas, plus the Big Bend region, the Hill Country, and
High Island / East Texas)
• Washington State (i.e., western WA & the adjacent Vacouver, BC region)
The participants share in all the trip expenses: my guiding fee of $240/day plus expenses (meals, lodging, and travel), vehicle rentals, gas, entry fees and permits, lodging, etc.)
