Wow! Wow! Wow!

Superb trip! Let’s start with the snowy scenery — just gorgeous. And then the birds. We saw many we had never seen before, and never could have expected to see otherwise. Adrian or Alex or Chris would spot a tiny dot at the top of a tree and say, “That’s a ….” and we’d pull over and, sure enough, they’d be right. They were generous with their exhaustive knowledge, and we learned a lot. Their friendliness and good natures made the trip so much fun in so many ways. We came home exhau(…)

Owls for days

It’s not the quantity but definitely the quality of birds on this trip. We didn’t have too much snow and no colder than 15F each day.
Our guides Alex and Steve , who was a local, knew exactly where to find each species. No matter how long it took to find.
I really enjoyed the quiet locations, the forests and thankful for the 12 lifers.

Southern California Trip

This trip to Southern California was my seventh Wildside trip. This trip was, as all of my trips with Wildside, fabulous! This was also my third trip with Alex Lamoreaux as guide. Alex is a superb all around birding, flora and fauna expert. As a bonus he has a great knack for picking great dinner spots. My wife and I have been on five North American tours and two international tours, with two more trips with Wildside to come this year. Treat yourself to one of their many trips – you won’t b(…)

Central California

This was my sixth Wildside trip. All have been fantastic! This is my second trip with Alex as my guide. Alex is very knowledgeable and very well prepared. The highlight birds for me were the Ridgway’s rails, the THREE Ruffs and the 25 YES 25 California Condors and most were feeding only 100 yards away! The Pelagic trip was a real bonus seeing the Tufted Puffin and two Blue Whales. Looking forward to the two trips I’ve already booked for 2020.

About Alex Lamoreaux

Alex Lamoreaux has been an avid birder and naturalist his entire life. He grew up exploring the Appalachian ridge-and-valley region near Hershey, Pennsylvania where the ubiquitous Red-tailed Hawk was his spark bird, and continues to be his favorite bird today! He began banding Northern Saw-whet Owls and volunteering at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary before he could even drive! Alex has traveled extensively throughout North America, Central America, and South Africa in pursuit of wildlife adventures. Today he is a senior leader and our North American birding specialist.

Alex has been a nomadic biologist, working in multiple countries and in dozens of US states for over 15 years before settling into full time bird-guiding and environmental education. He has worked on a huge variety of avian research projects from shorebird ecology in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to migrating Hook-billed Kites in Belize. Alex’s main interests are in the visible migration of birds, especially raptors and shorebirds. Alex’s love for nature shines through in his ever-enthusiastic approach to guiding, and he strives to bring the birding community together to conserve and protect wildlife.
