Meet David & Beth Rupp
David and Beth Rupp are a husband and wife team. David serves as a birding guide and tour operator while Beth works part-time behind the scenes handling logistics and planning the tours.
Beth and David live in Bloomington, Indiana, a classic university town surrounded by nature in all directions. When not traveling or leading multi-day tours, David offers day trips near home. His favorite local destinations include Goose Pond FWA, Yellowwood State Forest, and Lake Monroe.
David worked as an environmental educator, field biologist, Audubon chapter president, and bird population researcher before starting IndiGo Birding Nature Tours in 2013. His goal is to connect people with nature by sharing the wonder of the world of birds. He strives to meet people wherever they are in their birding journey, providing a memorable experience that both heightens their knowledge and skills and leaves them wanting to come back for more!
