Private Humboldt County Birding with Ken Burton
Private Humboldt County birding with Ken Burton, available from 5 hours and up and customized around Eureka, Arcata Marsh, Humboldt Bay, redwood habitats, coastline and North Coast target birds.
About this tour
Humboldt County is one of California's strongest birding regions, with redwood forests, coastline, wetlands, public lands, state parks and the Arcata Marsh / Humboldt Bay area all within reach. Almost 500 bird species have been recorded in the county, and over 100 species can be possible in a day at the right season.
This is a single private guiding listing with flexible duration options starting at 5 hours and up. The focus can be target species, specific habitats, general North Coast birding, nature study, or a relaxed exploration depending on season, weather, tides and visitor preference.
Group size is flexible and can be arranged for any number of people by enquiry. Ken's public site states that he cannot provide transportation for liability reasons, so meeting points and vehicle logistics are confirmed after enquiry.
