The best of North Dakota

We guide in all major regions of the state, from the Red River Valley in the east to the central prairie pothole region, and to the western hills and Badlands. We want to help you discover the best that North Dakota has to offer for birds and birding across this legendary state—Baird’s Sparrow, Sprague’s Pipit, Nelson’s and Le Conte’s Sparrows, Chestnut-collared Longspur, and more!

Our REVIEWS

Seth was our guide for our Baird’s sparrow target, but he also shared his wealth of knowledge of North Dakota prairie pothole ecology. We traveled to sloughs, fields, ponds, and lakes in search of prairie birds. We had an outstanding experience with him, and we ended up having great looks at 6 Baird’s sparrows as well as other prairie birds.
Seth was our birding guide in North Dakota for the day. He did a fantastic job! All our communications with him, before, during, and after the birding tour were great! We had a target list of 7 birds and we heard and saw all 7 during the one day with him! We also heard and saw many other birds. Great job! Highly recommended!
