Guiding for Naturalist Journeys

Dear Friends:

I am proud to announce that, in 2021, I began leading multi-day tours through the respected tour company, Naturalist Journeys. Their broad client base, global tour repertoire, and progressive business philosophy mesh perfectly with the goals I have established for Paradise Birding over the last 26 years.

What will happen to Paradise Birding?

Don’t worry! Paradise Birding is not going away. I am simply redirecting my efforts and will continue to offer private tours and a few select domestic and international trips. For more information on Paradise Birding tours, in Oregon or elsewhere, visit this page. Groups are welcome!

Join Steve and Naturalist Journeys on an upcoming tour!

We are happy to bring some of our past tour itineraries to Naturalist Journeys in addition to several brand-new tours, and Steve will be the lead guide for a few of NJ’s long-established trips. Check out this exciting list of nature excursions scheduled for 2024:
