Reviews from Facebook

“ Great Birder and guide. We had a great time and found more lifers than I had ever thought possible, thanks to Richards knowledge and skill. We will see you again some day. Thanks so much!!!! ”

Dab, Canada

“ Richard Fray is an exceptional tour guide. His knowledge of hundreds of bird calls and identification is amazing, and such an easy going, lovely chap. I would thoroughly recommend him. ”

Louis, England

“ We’ve birded with Richard several times over the years. Every trip has been an excellent experience – with us benefiting from Richard’s thorough knowledge of the birds (and bird locations) in SE Arizona. ”

Elizabeth, North Carolina

“My husband and I spent the entire day, sunup to well past sundown, with Richard and enjoyed every minute! He is an extremely knowledgeable and patient guide – we saw a ton of desert and canyon species, including Gilded Flicker and a very intimate encounter with an Elegant Trogon, and also learned much about Arizona birds and wildlife in the process. Highly recommend his guiding services! Thanks again, Richard!”

Jasmine & David, California

“Wow! What a fantastic birding trip on Thursday, 4/29/21 with Richard! Highlights included the first reported US eBird sighting of 2021 of a Five-striped sparrow, and a male Montezuma Quail. Many life bird species for us. Richard is a talented birder, both by eye and ear, and full of fun tales and facts. Thanks, Richard!”

George & Jen, Arizona

“Richard got us about 40 new species in just 3 days.”

Denise, Alabama

“Richard is a very personable tour guide of exceptional knowledge of the wildlife and their habitats of SE Arizona. Don’t be fooled by his somewhat unassuming easy going style. He lives to bird. He’s well organized, punctual, and adaptable to your needs and desires; a consummate professional guide in every way. He has extensive knowledge of the area, the birds and their calls we encountered. During our trip with him we saw or heard virtually all the species of birds we had hoped to encounter and more on our trip to multiple birding locations. And we didn’t see another birder all day! Needless to say we highly recommend.”

Grover & Vicki, Washington

Amazing birding tour
“Richard Fray is an amazing bird watching guide for Southeast Arizona in the Tucson area. My wife and daughter spent two days with Richard exploring the species of the mountains and canyons in the Tucson area. They saw over 150 species of birds and enjoyed the amazing natural beauty of this area. Richard is a very flexible guide who adapts his guiding style to the client’s. Besides the birds, he is highly knowledgeable of the area and its natural attractions. My wife and daughter had completed a number of bird watching trips, but this was by far the most amazing one. And they give a great amount of credit for this to Richard.”

Birding Sun up till Sun down in Southern Arizona With Richard Fray
“We booked this tour on-line not knowing what to expect. We are avid birders in the North East and needed a guide to help us find and identify the birds of the South West and Richard Fray did not disappoint. As promised he met us at sunrise and found and identified birds as we drove through southern Arizona till sundown. We only stopped because the sun went down. Richard is enthusiastic and knowledgeable birder.”

Reviews from AZ-Birding/WINGS

“Richard, the guide, was fabulous. He made sure I saw many of the species I wanted to see, plus others he thought I would like. We went to many different areas. He is very knowledgeable and gave me quite a bit of information about each species. I would definitely hire him again if I go back to Arizona.”

Karen, Washington

“Richard was an excellent guide, with knowledge of herps, plants, and butterflies, which enhanced our experience.”

“I can’t thank you enough for a truly memorable day. This weekend will be hard to top and definitely one I will cherish. I saw every bird I wanted and more! I am sincerely grateful for your vast knowledge, handy spotting skills, but mostly for your easy-going spirit and your patience! THANK YOU very much!”

Misty, Arizona

“Richard: We are so grateful for the wonderful birding outings we have had with you. Not only have we added to our lifelists, but we have had some great birding experiences and learned to become better birders. You have an amazing capacity to recognize birds in an instant — whether from a half-second of viewing or hearing a bird-call. Thank you for sharing that talent with us.”

Pauline & Jim, Oklahoma

“Thanks again for another great experience in Arizona. The verdict was unanimous; you did a magnificent job showing us the rare and hard to find winter birds in southeastern Arizona. After we left you, we found 23 Mountain Plovers, and 600+ American Pipits just where you said they would be.”

Steve, John, John & Jim, Florida

“Richard, can’t thank you enough for the fabulous birding day! Steve and I were amazed at the birds, scenery and your guiding skills! I will definitely contact you in the near future when I return to SE Arizona. We also thoroughly enjoyed chatting with you. Fun birding, indeed! I really appreciate the ebird lists and your quick response. I’ve met a few people at Casa de San Pedro who birded with you and shared their highest compliments of their days with you. Needless to say, Steve and I are also singing your praises to all who ask for guides.”

Diane & Steve, Oregon

“Thank you once again for one of the finest birding experience in my life. I have birded with a good number of birders, and you were the best!! I so appreciated it. And your expertise of the area made it very interesting for my “non-birder” husband. Today I finished entering all of my Arizona birds to my life list. I am pleased to say I now have over 500 species recorded, thanks to your nice checklist. I had about 55 species with most of them “lifers”. I love the photos that you sent as well. I have praised your services to anyone that will listen!!”

Wyleen and Clark, Wisconsin

“Again our many many thanks for such a marvelous birding day. Though we couldn’t stray too far from the vehicle we did indeed hit almost 70 sightings, thanks to your wonderful spotting, luring and guidance. We loved every minute of it and thought about it all day. Your entry in your blog today showed us that you are not only a super guide and great company, as well as a safe driver through the washes, but a much better photographer than you say you are. Thank you so very much for all your efforts to make our time with you a fabulous experience.”

Liz & Gene, Michigan

“Thank you for sending me the eBird Reports from Friday’s highly enjoyable day of birding. Much appreciated. Coming from a fully-fledged naturalist, I really appreciated hearing your numerous insights into the natural history of such an ecologically-rich adopted home as yours. Huge thanks to you, Richard.”

Ric, Iowa

“We had such a fantastic time because of all your help. We can’t thank you enough for making our very short trip so full of fun and so satisfying. We felt that we had been thoroughly spoiled by all your help with identifying birds, looking through the scope, as well as the pictures you took.”

Linda & John, California

“Thanks for the quick response with the lists – far more exacting and nicely done than anything that we usually have. I want to take this opportunity to again thank you for a great day and to say that we both felt that you were at the top of your birding game. We would certainly recommend your services to anyone else travelling through the area.”

Nancy & Tom, Indiana

“Thanks for the pics and list. We are so glad we spent the morning with you and had the good fortune to hook up with the best birding guide in the area.”

Mary Ann & Larry, New York

“We had a fantastic day yesterday! We have been talking about it all day today as a matter of fact. From the birds to the scenery to the company, it couldn’t have been more pleasant.”

Allison, South Carolina

“You have a special talent, hard-won I suspect all your life, and made the day work beyond our expectations. May our birding paths cross again…”

Bill, Canada

“First, thanks so much, Richard, for guiding me. It was truly one of the best experiences I have had in Southeast Arizona over the years. Your guidance, good nature, and patient explanations to my questions made it a superb experience. Your special Broad-billed Hummingbird nest at Tubac was a terrific surprise. Of course, thanks for the Rose-throated Becard and wow, a Green Kingfisher at Rio Rico! Many thanks again Richard!”

Jeff, California

“Richard, Thanks for a memorable birding experience. We were thrilled to have seen so many uncommon species during our day and evening tours with you as guide. You took us to so many fabulous places that we would have never known about otherwise. I think you also helped the three of us, as birders of modest attainment, reach the next level. I also appreciate that you took the time to explain the border situation, and helped us to understand what’s at stake.”

Linda, Texas

“Whoo-hoo, what a great day with you yesterday! You were responsible for three new lifers/ticks. More importantly, you taught us a lot of distinctions between common and not-so-common species, and for that we’re grateful. Also appreciate the advice about what to do over here. Thanks for being such a great teacher and companion and putting up with us all day! Indeed, we’ll be back and will certainly love to explore more with you in the future.”

Erica & Mike, Washington

“Thanks Richard. I had a wonderful time, fantastic birding with better than expected lifers count. Thanks again for your guidance, best of luck and will definitely let you know if I plan another trip to Arizona.”

Bilal, California

“Richard, it was the best weekend I have had in a long time. I am amazed that we saw/heard so many wonderful birds. Thanks so much for your amazing talent in identifying so many birds. I had a great time.”

Diane, Arizona

” Thank you for a wonderful day. I had a great time–all those birds were wonderful, especially of course the Becard. You have an amazing gift–I am very jealous!! I look forward to birding with you again in the not-too-distant future.”

Brendan, Ontario

“I highly recommend Richard both as an excellent guide and a thoughtful, kind, and helpful person. He is tops in my book.”

Jon & Twila, California

“Our outing with you was one of the highlights of the trip. We will call upon you again if we make it to southern Arizona.”

Learden, California

“I added 32 birds to my life list while in Arizona – spectacular! I also learned a whole lot about being a better birder so thanks for that. We both had a great time and we hope to stay in touch. I’m looking forward to the pictures.”

Kelly & Danielle, Washington

“Thanks Richard. I had a really great day birding. Bringing in the mob of birds with the owl call was a delight. I have already talked to my wife about owling next year. She would like to come as well. Again thanks for a delightful day. It was everything I had hoped for.”

Dave, New Mexico

“Thank you Richard for a wonderful day of birding. I was so happy to see the Montezuma Quail. An added bonus. I did go online and read exactly what you had told us about them… they don’t migrate and stay in 50 hectare zone and their large feet are used to find tubers. Once again thank you. You are just the best.”

Mary & Frank, Washington

“We were very pleased with the day, even with the tiring heat of June! I expected to only get a few more new birds for the year, but that was not the case. Not only did we get the target birds, but many others we had missed, including several life birds for me. We also saw a lot of places, thanks to you, that we were not aware of. We would certainly recommend you to anyone coming here and hope to work with you again next year or beyond.”

Gary & Eugenia, California

“Thanks for your detailed eBird reports. I have finally updated my files and at this point I have recorded 89 new species for my life list! I would never have had this many without your expertise. I really enjoyed the days spent in the field with you and my fellow “Arizona Birders”. You did make it fun. I will recommend you to anyone I know that may be interested in a SE Arizona trip. The walks back into the canyons for the Rufous-capped Warbler, the Elegant Trogon and the drives up to the top of Mt. Lemmon and the Carr Canyon area are moments I will always reflect on. Thanks again, and good birding.”

Fritz, Pennsylvania

“Thank you for sending the list of birds we encountered. The sheer number and variety was certainly more than I had expected. What a great way to spend a day! Not only were the birds incredible, we both felt like we were more confident and knowledgeable in identifying what had previously been unknown or unfamiliar. Suffice it to say, we had a fantastic time and I will contact you to schedule another trip.”

Tim, Ohio

“For my birthday, Deborah gave me a most excellent gift! A “Big Day” with renowned local bird guide Richard Fray. The final total for me was 143 different species, setting a new personal best for one day. Thank you so much Richard Fray for your friendship and expertise. And thank you Deborah for such a thoughtful gift! It was probably the most full and fun day of birding of my life.”

Dave, Arizona

“Thanks so much for a fun day out with the birds, we saw and heard a great deal that we wouldn’t have found on our own. And we both really enjoyed your company and bubbly commentary. Next time we head your way, we’ll definitely give you a call, and meanwhile recommend you to any of our birding friends heading down to Arizona. Thanks again.”

Thanks again.”
