“Wonderful birding experience - We had a wonderful time birding with Ryan in late September in the Denver area. Based on our target list, Ryan was able to customize our outings to help us find many birds of interest. We hiked along beautiful trails in the mountains, visited Rocky Mountain National Park, and Pawnee National Grassland. Ryan’s knowledge and enthusiasm regarding the habitats and birds in the area added to an outstanding learning experience. We found Ryan friendly, flexible, attentive, and just fun to be around. We highly recommend him and look forward to seeing him again next year.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-09
