Reviews for Skye Haas and Borealis Birding

My love of birds and other native wildlife have anchored me to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, but the people I’ve met along the way make my experiences even richer. I find the social and educational aspects of birding very fulfilling and I look forward to sharing my depth of knowledge and enthusiasm for nature with you and others we meet on the birding trail. I am grateful for the following kind words from folks I have guided in the past. Enjoy!

 

FEBRUARY 2019: “We thoroughly enjoyed our birding trip with Skye Haas. He is an amazing professional ornithologist and very personable young man. He made every effort to assure all participants saw each species. He provided boundless information about the species we saw, their natural history, current population status and current distribution. Skye made our trip very informative and enjoyable. His enthusiasm for birding was infectious and we all were willing to put in long hours to see all the birds we possibly could find. This allowed us to document over 215 species. Kudos to Skye Haas!” —Dale & Rob F. Eagle-Eye Tour South Texas

 

OCTOBER 2018: “Skye Haas is very knowledgeable about the birds and the area we birded. He was good about getting people on to birds and helping them recognize them and understand key identifying features. I not only saw a lot of birds, I am better able to identify them.” – Eagle-Eye Tour Cape May, New Jersey

 

FEBRUARY 2018: “An excellent guide- fantastic birder, very knowledgeable and very tech savvy. It helped that he was already familiar with the region, cities & towns, parks and rural routes. A good photographer as well. It also helped that he was a good communicator and very approachable and accommodating!” -Eagle-Eye Tour South Texas

 

FEBRUARY 2017: “Skye is a great leader and an excellent spotter. His knowledge of people and places in Texas enhanced the trip greatly.” – Eagle-Eye Tour South Texas participant

 

“Skye was a wealth of information and such a joy to tour with. He is fun and so enthusiastic – every bird is his favorite and most places we visited were the best in Texas. He is laid back, relaxed. He surely made the trip entertaining for me. He was determined to find birds.” – Eagle-Eye Tour South Texas participant

 

JANUARY 2014: “Skye was very knowledgeable and personable, and happy to share his knowledge with all of us! Really, I can’t think of any part of the tour that we did not enjoy. Skye worked hard to make everything happen.”  – Michigan Audubon Eastern UP Tour Participant

 

FEBRUARY 2013: “Skye Haas, our intrepid guide, could not have been any more capable, congenial, or brilliant. When you think about it, guides are under a lot of pressure to perform, squiring around all these fanatics who’ve come great distances with even greater expectations; but if we didn’t already have the term laid-back, we’d have to invent it for Skye.”   – Diane Garlick, tour participant
