Testimonials

Jacqueline May 2017

“Hi, I love coming home and reviewing the list of birds and checking them off my bird list. A great day for me as I added 7 species. Loved the Alder Flycatcher. Though not a lifer but my highlight might have been seeing the American Bittern. Thanks so much for the wonderful day !

Sue May 2017

An excellent photo workshop. I learned to look at the gallery in a different way, not just as a building that houses art, but as art in itself. It is a great building to practice the “rules” of composition. Tony and Nina were expert guides. We worked with some of the core rules of composition. Just a few, which made learning very manageable. Where I was not able to see a composition, they helped me to see it. The aha! moments! Thank you both for your professional expertise and a great workshop !

It truly is always such an adventure when I have the time to get out with you and the group – such fun.

I always have an adventure when I go out with Tony and Nina! They are wonderfully positive and upbeat, making every outing lots of fun and a tremendous learning experience. They are knowledgeable, encouraging, well organized and take their lead from the group. Birding with them is one of my favourite things to do!

Joanne Pasieka

Positive: Professionalism, Quality. I have used Always an Adventure for several years now. I continue to learn from Tony & Nina,. The birding is relaxed and fun but professional as well. They do their research before we head out which increases our success rate in finding the birds. All in all , well done.

Hannah Carbone

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value. It's been a few years now, but when I'm in Ottawa I try to find time to go on a birding excursion with Tony and Nina. They really, really know their birds, where to find them and how to identify them, and they do a great job of sharing their knowledge with the group.

I really enjoyed my tour with Nina and Tony . They are professional, reliable, polite, friendly, They found and identified far more species of birds quickly , more than I could have done on my own.

Tony and Nina are truly wonderful guides and teachers! My wife and I have gone out with them many times, starting 6 years ago.

Naomi Pickett

Tony Beck and Nina Stavlund are the most ethical and best photographers in Ottawa. I have gone on many birding excursions with them. They are very professional yet treat you like family.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value. Always an Adventure is NEVER a disappointment. Tony and Nina know what they do!! Their vast photographic and nature wealth of knowledge means you' learn about the species as you locate and photograph them. These two help you learn and grow in your birding experience with their ethical approach to all things nature.
