The Montezuma ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Center is a great place to connect with nature and earn badges! We offer a variety of programs targeted towards specific badges and scout levels for Girl Scout and Scouting American groups. Plus, participate in adventurous add-ons like kayaking, snowshoeing, and even overnight camping programs.

Private Birding Tours

Reconnect with nature at Montezuma ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Center!

Enjoy a unique bird-watching tour of the 50,000-acre Montezuma Wetlands Complex! These outings are a great way to catch up with family members, close friends, or co-workers, and experience the birds, other wildlife, and habitats that make Montezuma an ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Important Bird Area. Choose from driving tours, birding walks, canoeing/kayaking excursions, and snowshoeing hikes. All tours are led by ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ staff and include equipment rentals, binoculars, and bird guides.

For driving tours, you will follow behind the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ van in your own vehicle to Montezuma’s marshes, forests, and grasslands to explore several birding hotspots and the abundant wildlife as they go about their activities. Participants will receive a conference call phone number to hear the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ educator narrate the tour and ask questions between stops. Guests are welcome to get out of their vehicles at each stop.

  • Program Fee: $150

  • Available year-round for groups of up to 10 people

  • To plan and reserve your customized tour, call 315-365-3588 or email montezuma@audubon.org
