The BEST OF Washington

We guide in all regions of the state, from the rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula to the rocky heights of Mount Rainier, and the rich waters of Puget Sound to the prairies and sagebrush steppe of eastern Washington. We want to get you the best of Washington birds throughout—Harlequin Ducks and deep-diving alcids to Black Swifts and Sooty Grouse.

Our REVIEWS

Liam Hutcheson is an outstanding birder with a sharp eye and really good ear, and his ability to find good and tricky birds always impresses me. He's exactly the kind of person you want as a bird guide -- someone who knows where to find everything in Washington, and someone who takes it as a personal challenge to get you on your target species. More mature (and a much better conversationalist) than the average teenager, he's good company and you'll be glad you hired him.
Liam H is an excellent bird identifier and bird-spotter. Stoked to see that he’s available to lead tours!
I fully recommend Liam Hutcheson as a birding guide. I've birded with him as a friend quite a bit. He knows Washington state and its birds like the back of his hand. As a 15-16 yr old, he set the state big year record, which involved coordinating with friends of all generations from all around the state, a testimony to his companionship, enjoyment of nature, and the fact that he's a pleasure to hang out with. If you have target birds, he'll have plan A, B, C, and D for you. And he'll also fill you in on the status and micro-habitat preferences of that bird in the Pacific Northwest in general. And he's conscientious, respectful, and sensitive to the needs of others. You'll have a great time!
