Update: I'm changing my rating from 3 stars to 4. Felipe was very communicative and helpful and Justin did finally get us our lists from the trip. Again, I want to stress, Justin is a phenomenal birder and got us the birds we wanted. It was only the follow through with the bird lists that was a problem.One month past our trip and we still don’t have all of our checklists.We hired Justin for two days of birding in the Texas Hill country. Justin is an experienced and very knowledgeable birder. He got us on our target birds which was great. Very nice young man but not much engagement during our time together. The problem really began after we returned home. It took Justin over two weeks to share only some of our ebird checklists. Still one month later and we don’t have all the checklists. I had asked him at the beginning if he was going to keep our lists or if I should do my own. He told me he would take care of it. I deeply regret not doing it myself as I’m missing lists with lifers on them. What was a wonderful experience is greatly marred by this frustration of not getting the checklists. So if you hire Justin, I highly recommend keeping your own checklists!

I had a very good trip with Texas Bird Guides! Justin was able to take me up the Pinnacles Trail and connect with Colima Warbler! He was enthusiastic and ready to spend all of the time needed for me to get great looks at the bird.

I recently booked a guide for two days at Big Bend to see the Colima Warbler. I've used many guide services and I have to say that David is easily among the top guides I've ever had. He was timely, professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I had a amazing time and checked off most of the birds I wanted to see (in excess of 100 species). I highly recommend Texas Birding Guides and intend to use them again.
