Tiffany is an exceptional birding guide! Her expertise and enthusiasm are contagious. She helped me find a Golden-cheeked Warbler and Black-capped Vireo on the same day in the Hill Country. Her Big Year record speaks for itself - she really knows how to find birds!

Hired Tiffany for a full-day Austin area birding tour and it was worth every penny. She's great at both finding target species and teaching bird identification skills. Also got excellent photography tips. Highly recommend Nature Ninja Birding!
