Birding Man Adventures
Join Birding Man Adventures for a 10-day Northern Ecuador birdwatching tour from Denver. Experience vibrant species and support local conservation initiatives.
Birding Man Adventures is a Denver, Colorado–based outfitter specializing in guided birding and wildlife tours across Colorado and international destinations. The company operates a varied schedule of experiences that range from short half-day accessible outings to full-day field trips and multi-day expeditions such as a 10-day northern Ecuador birding tour.
Trip offerings include shortgrass prairie birding at Pawnee National Grassland (with species like Mountain Plover and Lark Bunting), reduced-mobility birding options with comfortable seating and backyard habitat visits, mountain canyon excursions to search for bighorn sheep, an evening elk rut observation with picnic dinner, combined birding-and-brewery outings supporting Denver Audubon, Front Range raptor days focused on Bald Eagles and other raptors, scenic visits to Pike’s Peak and Garden of the Gods, high-country hikes with hot-spring soaks, and a multi-hour Golden Eagle and Townsend’s Solitaire search near Denver.
Guides are experienced naturalists who emphasize species identification, habitat interpretation, and responsible wildlife viewing. Several itineraries include logistical conveniences such as hotel pickup and picnic options where noted, and accessibility is explicitly offered through a Reduced Mobility Birding program available as half-day or full-day options.
Conservation and community support are integrated into trip design: select tours donate portions of proceeds to organizations such as Denver Audubon and the Nature Conservancy and partner with local initiatives on international trips. Trip lengths, meeting points, and seasonal availability are provided at reservation time to set accurate expectations for participants.
