With your expert San Diego & Grebe guide: Krisztina Scheeff
San Diego County in sunny California is one of the most diversified locations for wildlife spotting, including hundreds of birds (resident or migratory), mammals, gorgeous landscapes and of course, plants. San Diego is a birder, nature photographer and outdoor enthusiast's perfect playground. During the year there are different locations in the county to take photos and a variety of subjects. I can help you achieve your goals, especially if you are short on time. You can be a professional photographer, or just someone who enjoys nature, you will depart with plenty of photos from different areas of the County after our tour.
Filming the Grebes with the BBC Natural History Unit - I truly enjoyed working on this project in January 2023 with the BBC as the Grebe Expert - WATCH THE SHOW HERE.
The Grebes are in Episode #8 with a behind-the-scenes look at the end of the show; and yes, I am in there! Enjoy :-).
I offer various tour options in San Diego to fit all budgets:
Grebes are fascinating birds. Their unique courtship behavior called "rushing" is one of the most photographed animal behaviors in the World. Rushing is when Grebes "walk on water" to find a mate, and it only lasts 5-7 seconds. Knowing what to listen for and what to look for before rushing happens is the key to that perfect shot!
