“We had the best time with Bobby in San Diego! A great day with a whole lotta awesome species & we got to see a lot of the area! Bobby’s such a cool guy with a great personality & attitude, I’m really happy we wound up being our guide! He’s also such a great birder! We got pretty much each and every one of our targets (with the exception of *seeing* the Mountain Quail which, you know, is pretty dang hard – we heard them at least!) and he pointed out some great birds I was oblivious to the existence of (Gray & Least Bell’s Vireos) which we got excellent views of! Overall, it was the best possible way to spend a day to spend a day in SD and I’m just delighted with the whole experience!” Celloc

“Had a fantastic time birding and owling with Bobby for the day. He was incredibly knowledgeable, not just of birding but as a general naturalist with the plants and other fauna, and biology of the area. Bobby was also very communicative and flexible with the itinerary to best suit our timing and needs, and overall was just a great hang for the day. I highly recommend going birding with him at California Bird Guides! – Jonathan G.”

“Bobby is the definition of a “bird nerd” in the best ways possible. His mind is like an encyclopedia of bird knowledge, and he is relentless in his pursuit to see birds all across the world. That being said, he still values and loves the amazing birds California has to offer and I’ve been fortunate enough to accompany him in many successful birding adventures.” – Calvin N.

“Bobby is a great guide I can always rely on for an exciting excursion! He is very knowledgeable of the bird species of the area and their habitats.
