What if I'm just a beginner birdwatcher? No problem. Most bird watching vacations offer a range in participant skill, from complete novice to the highly-skilled tour veteran. When I worked as an ornithology instructor for Audubon, I loved to have an enthusiastic beginner in my group over an expert who was bored unless he/she saw a new species to add to his/her list.
