Your Guide

My first word was 'quack,' so you could say I have been fascinated by birds since the beginning!

 

Having lived all of my life in the Okanagan Valley, I grew up on the edge of Rose Valley Regional Park. Here I spent my childhood exploring the hills and familiarizing myself with the unique biodiversity of the region. 

I guided my first birding tour at 14 years old, and have developed a passion for environmental education, conservation and outdoor recreation. Most of my free time is spent documenting the spectacular birds of the valley, and exploring its remote hinterlands.

Today I am a proud community activist and conservationist. I am the Director of Conservation for the Central Okanagan Naturalists' Club, a board Director for the Central Okanagan Land Trust, and a seasoned interpretive guide, with 8 years of experience guiding in the valley.

TESTIMONIALS

“Kalin provided an unforgettable day start to finish, with unmatched knowledge of the area and its ecosystem. Within the first hour I was extremely satisfied with what we had seen, and it kept getting better as the day progressed. We ended up seeing over 100 bird species and my favorite bird that I wasn’t sure I’d ever see. If you’re looking to have a day full of seeing and learning new things, book with Kalin.”
