Guided Tours

Although we are currently closed for public visitation until May 1, 2023, we are offering scheduled Guided Tours, weather-permitting, throughout the winter. It may be cold, but our waterfowl are in their full regalia of brilliant, breeding plumage in the months of January, February, and March. 

A private Guided Tour of the Conservancy is a fabulous way to introduce your friends and family to our incredible collection of waterfowl.

Led by one of our experienced aviculturists, your group will be introduced to many of the most colorful and interesting birds in the world while learning about the Conservancy’s history and how we’re working to conserve waterfowl and wetland habitats through research, education and conservation action.  ​
