Tennessee Birding with Warblers and More
Western US birders should find this trip very appealing. Nearly two dozen species of warblers nest in this area of the country, and another ten or so will be migrating through at this time of year, so a few days of birding in east Tennessee (and western North Carolina) in late April could provide you with looks at over thirty species of warblers.

Pricing: $2,190 USD, or £1,750 GBP for 6 Days and 5 Nights
