Most birders will want to bring their own gear (binoculars/cameras) but I do have several spare sets of binoculars - Leupold Gold Ring 10x42s, Vortek Diamondback HD 10x50s, and Xerotech Thrive 8x32s - available as loaners at no charge.

I provide use of my personal Spotting Scope - Kowa Prominar 25-60x

For Birding-by-Kayak, I have 2 Pelican models - a sit-in model and a sit-on model. Clients are expected to bring their own life preserver (if desired). Obviously, I will be in one of them. $50 rental fee if I provide one of the kayaks for your use.

Overnight backpacking trips require clients to bring their own bedding and sleeping pads. I can provide use of a small backpacking tent. You must bring your own backpack.

You are expected to bring clothing, hats, sunscreen, etc to suit all weather conditions we are likely to encounter. I can advise, but please stay up to date on expected weather conditions by monitoring weather.com
