Took a private tour with David. He’s incredible. I could have never known where to go in Goose Pond.

Excellent birding trip in Southern Indiana, with sightings of at least 37 different species, some very rare. David is extremely knowledgeable about where to see the birds and about their habits. His enthusiasm for the experience was catching. He organized the details, equipment, field guides, timing and other logistics very well.

David was very knowledgeable, from a quick kayak lesson to turtles, birding, history of the lake and woods, to tree identification from leaf colors. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours in nature. Wish we lived closer to take other tours led by David.

This was my first kayak tour so I really didn't know what to expect. And I have to say that it turned out to be a really great first time experience! The weather tried to be threatening but we managed to avoid getting wet. David is a very knowledgeable birder and pointed out the different ones that he would see. I highly recommend going on a tour with him.

Our family of four (including an 11 year old and a 14 year old) went on a private kayak tour at Lake Monroe. (We met David at the Pine Grove State Recreation Area.) It was an amazing experience!

David was easy to communicate with and provided everything needed (including binoculars)- we just had to show up. The cost was very reasonable. We did not have previous kayaking experience- David gave us a quick lesson and we were ready to go- even our 11 year old had no problems with it.

We saw many birds, including a roseate spoonbill that we were hoping to see, an eagle, herons, egrets and indigo buntings, kingfishers and many others. We also saw deer and beavers. David was extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk with. He answered all of our questions and provided a lot of interesting information.

My son and husband are much more into birds than my daughter and me- but we all loved the tour. If you are a birder, this is a fantastic experience. However, even if you are not a birder but just enjoy spending time in nature, you will love this tour. Our family is planning to do it again and also to take tours of other areas in Indiana with David. Just go- you will not regret it!
