I Spent a Week as a PROFESSIONAL Bird Guide, Here's What Happened!
During the fall, Derek and I got to be guides at the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival and I wanted to document what it was like being a professional bird guide. Join me as I discover what it truly takes to be a professional bird guide while getting up close with the birds that make South Texas a must-visit destination for birders. Whether you're an avid birder or just curious about the behind-the-scenes world of bird guiding, this video has something for everyone!
