He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating. There were two of us and we each tipped him 20% so a total of $80. Some may consider that an overly generous tip but good guides are worth their weight in gold and I guarantee you he?ll remember us the next time we hire him for his services.

I've never used birding guides before (if you don't count our great Westport Pelagic spotters!). How much would you typically tip a guide for a full day of birding? They will all be local to the various regions.
