Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers

Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away.
Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

I've been a naturalist, wildlife biologist, and ornithologist in Indiana and North Carolina. I will soon be debuting a personalized nature guide service to south central Indiana. In the meantime, I would be glad to take anyone birding. Our region has lots to offer, from warblers to waders with different target species in each season. I visit places like Brown County State Park and Yellowwood State Forest.

My husband Carl and I are Resident Managers of the Mary Gray Bird Sanctuary that is owned by the Indiana Audubon Society. The 700 acre property has varied habitat and the best birding is during spring and fall migration however anytime during the year is delightful.

I am in NE Indiana, which can be a phenomenal place to bird watch during migration. Winter and summer residents are nice as well. I know the area quite well and know a great many places to find 'specialty' birds. I am a professor and enjoy birding with people who get excited about being out doors!

I have birded throughout the world (lifelist 1060) and have been helped by many wonderful and generous birders along the way. I would love to repay the favor by taking visitors to my favorite birding spots. As a biology & anatomy professor, I have a reasonably flexible schedule throughout the year.
