HEAR FROM OUR GUESTS

“The ‘Bird Guy’ Tours made my birdwatching experience truly exceptional. Andy helped me spot my very first Belted Kingfisher along the Yellow Breeches, and I never would have found it on my own. His enthusiasm and knowledge of local birds made the whole morning unforgettable. I can’t wait to join another walk!”

Meet Your Guide

Hi, I’m Andy — a Central Pennsylvania birding guide, naturalist, and educator serving a 125‑mile radius from Carlisle. I’ve guided hundreds of birders across the region, from first‑timers to lifelong nature lovers, and I specialize in relaxed, beginner‑friendly nature walks designed for comfort, curiosity, and connection.

How I Guide

  • Comfort first — Routes and pacing are chosen for a wide range of mobility and energy levels, ensuring everyone can enjoy the experience.

  • Conversation over lectures — We learn together by noticing behavior, habitat, and the small details that make each bird unique.

  • Beginner‑friendly by design — Questions are always welcome, and there’s never any pressure to “know things” ahead of time.

What I Love About This Work

Birding changes how people see the world. Watching someone spot their first warbler, hear an owl call, or suddenly recognize a bird they’ve walked past for years — that’s the magic. Every walk is a chance to share that moment with someone new.

What You Can Expect From Me

     A calm, supportive atmosphere; a pace that lets you actually enjoy the experience; and a guide who’s more interested in helping you connect with nature than rushing through a checklist.

     Come experience my passion for birds — it’s likely to be an experience you’ll never forget.
