ONshore Birding Take Flight and Blog Changes

For the last few years I have thought about starting my own birding/nature tour company in Ontario, and that day has finally arrived. My company is called ONshore Birding and I will lead small group tours as well as private tours in Ontario! The website is ONshorebirding.com.

American Avocets - Hillman Marsh, Essex County

This autumn I have a few trips planned that still have some availability. They include:

October 24: Raptors and Waterbirds of Port Stanley
October 27: Autumn Birding in Hamilton

Additionally I will be running half-day and full-day trips along the Niagara River on a several weekend dates in November and December. Currently, I have November 14, 15 and 28 listed, but I will add some additional dates later in the year as well.

Each of the above tours will have a maximum of six guests. If you are interested or would like to discuss a potential private tour, please email me at joshvandermeulen@live.ca.

I will be making some changes to the content that I post to this blog as well. From now on, all of my Ontario content will be posted to the blog that I host at ONshore birding. To add a link to the ONshore Birding Blog on the sidebar of your blog, use this URL: www.onshorebirding.com/2/feed

However, I will continue to keep Explorations of an Ecologist active. I will just focus the content on trips I take outside of Ontario. I am planning on posting the rest of my Costa Rica photos from March, and I still have some content from last autumn in Ecuador. Eventually I would like to produce a series of blog posts about the Galápagos islands as well.

If anyone would like to pass along the information about ONshore Birding to any potentially interested parties I would be very grateful! Thanks and hope to see you in the field!
