Private Remote Birding Trip-Planning Consultation
Plan an independent birding trip in Singapore or selected US regions through a private 30-minute call with ornithologist Wenfei Tong, followed by tailored written recommendations.
About this tour
Prepare an independent birding journey with Wenfei Tong, a biologist, ornithologist, author and natural-history guide. This private remote service is designed for travelers who want destination-specific birding advice before arranging their own trip.
The standard consultation begins with a 30-minute video or telephone call. Use the conversation to explain your birding experience, seasonal interests, preferred pace and the places or habitats you hope to explore. Wenfei then follows up with a written plan and links to the locations discussed. Longer calls can sometimes be arranged when needed, but the normal booked format is 30 minutes.
Wenfei currently advises on Singapore and several parts of the United States. Her US coverage spans Montana, selected Alaskan areas, the Southwest, New York and New England. Birding can be considered alongside wider natural-history interests, local culture, hiking, accommodation and places to eat or drink, helping the recommendations fit the whole journey rather than a checklist alone.
Wenfei grew up birdwatching in Singapore, holds a doctorate in biology from Harvard, has taught in Montana and Alaska, and has guided natural-history experiences in several international destinations. Her books and conservation work focus strongly on birds and their behavior. Recommendations remain advisory: access, seasonal conditions and wild-bird sightings can change, so final travel arrangements should be checked before departure.
