Dawn Chorus Tours

The forest’s best concert, before the world wakes up.

Dawn Chorus Tours

About this tour

There is no better hour for birdsong. As the first light touches the canopy, resident birds greet the day in a layered chorus you will not hear anywhere else. We position ourselves before dawn so you catch the very first notes.

Along the way your guide identifies each voice — pitch, pattern, rhythm — until you can name a dozen species by ear alone. Coffee, pastries and a portable blind are part of the experience.

What is included

  • Pre-dawn positioning for first light
  • Birdsong identification by ear
  • Warbler, thrush and flycatcher focus
  • Hot coffee and pastries included
  • Portable viewing blinds provided
  • 3-hour tour, ends with golden-hour light
