Meet Your Guide – The Bird Guy
Hi there! I’m Andrew—your local birdwatching guide and the heart behind every outing at The Bird Guy Tours. I’ve been immersed in the world of birds since I was 10 years old, and now, as I step into this next chapter of life, that early spark continues to guide me across trails, waterways, and even continents in search of feathered wonders.
From tropical rainforests to alpine meadows, from the sunlit coasts of California to the quiet wetlands of the Southeast—and right here in my wonderful backyard in Cumberland Valley—I’ve explored birdlife in every corner of the USA and beyond. With a lifetime of field experience and a deep appreciation for the planet’s biodiversity, I bring expertise, warmth, and a contagious love of nature to every adventure.
Whether we’re spotting warblers together or swapping stories beneath the canopy, my goal is to make every moment in the field unforgettable. Let’s explore the beauty around us and share the joy birdwatching has offered me throughout the years—no passport required.
