Full day birding The full day birding tour will begin close to sunrise to maximize the hours of the day when birds are most active. Your Avian Biologist Guide will seek out the best birding hotspots, and with the use of our high quality Maven spotting scopes and 8 x 42 binoculars, you'll be able to observe the diverse bird life. Be prepared for non-strenuous hikes to get away from the road too view birds flitting about, and for listening to the chorus of song. After a morning session of uninterrupted birding, we’ll enjoy lunch together at one of the park’s amazing lodges, or if the weather permits and there is interest, we may enjoy a picnic style lunch on the shore of Jackson Lake or another scenic location. After a relaxing lunch, we’ll continue to explore the birding spots of the park, seeking out any species that may have eluded us in the morning. Knowledgeable in so many areas of expertise other than birds, make sure to pick your guide’s brain on topics like animal behavior, animal adaptations, geology of the area, local botany, and the cultural history of this special place.
