Michael O'Brien's workshop on bird vocalizations was transformative. His teaching style is engaging and his knowledge is unparalleled. The shorebird identification session was worth every penny!

Michael's nocturnal birding tour was fascinating! Learning flight calls while experiencing Cape May's night migration was unforgettable. His illustrations in my field guide came to life!
