We toured with Lugo. He is absolutely amazing. He is so passionate and knowledgeable about birding. He was just as excited about finding each bird as we were. We found 48 species of birds during our morning together. He kept a list to keep track of all of them for us. He did booted calls on both his phone and whistling to entice the birds out so we could see them. He provided binoculars, cold drinks and great conversation. It was truly a thrilling birding adventure for us. Thank you again Lugo!
