This was such a fantastic weeklong trip. Everything was well thought out and David took such great care of our group…from our accommodations to our meals to having excellent local guides who enhanced and enriched our experiences. We saw, and learned about, so many different species of birds (180+).

David’s tours are always informative and enjoyable! He is very personable and a wealth of knowledge. He is not just a birder, but a naturalist, as well. He easily adjusts his tours to the level of his clients. I highly recommend Indigo Birding Nature Tours.
I was fortunate to be able to participate in the Jan 2023 IndiGo Birding tour of Belize with David Rupp. It was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime trip and exceeded my already high expectations. Not only is David an excellent birder but he makes every effort for each participant to see the beautiful birds of Belize. I was able to see 195 species with 98 of them being life birds. There were so many gorgeous birds but the Lesson’s Motmot and Trogans were among my favorites.
David is excellent at helping us all become better birders. And he knows the good birding spots, time of day and best lighting.
Great day to spend with friends! We enjoyed clear blue skies, cold and crisp air and a great get away from the winter work days. David is so knowledgeable and shares his enthusiasm for nature.
I have had a great experience on all my trips. David knows all the areas and the birds very well. Highly recommended for birding in south-central Indiana.

On Wednesday morning, our tour group saw 6 box turtles (at different places) crossing the road or path, including this adorable young one. Good to see what appears to be a healthy population in western Brown County!
We wrapped our third almost-annual birding tour to Audubon State Park in Henderson, Kentucky yesterday. We had a wonderful group with a couple of truly memorable birding experiences, particularly a dead sassafras tree at @wesselmanwoods that had warblers, buntings and woodpeckers swarming the trunk to feed on ants and termites. The cottages at the state park make the trip one of my favorites. I invite you to join us next year!
