CORONAVIRUS TRAVEL UPDATE
The coronavirus crisis is among the most serious situations VENT has faced in its 44-year history. Through it all, I emphasize that our main concern is the health and safety of our travelers and employees. For this reason and others, effective immediately, we have decided to cancel all of our scheduled departures through May 15.
Our sources of information are the websites of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and the U.S. Department of State; an array of agents and travel operators around the world with whom we work; and from Zegrahm Expeditions, one of our partners in cruise travel.

27, 2019 ---New book by Rick Wright! The sparrows of North America have a reputation of being extremely difficult to identify, sometimes by even the most experienced birders and bird experts. Rick Wright, VENT tour leader and designer of VENT’s Birds & Art tours, has written a book that provides not only the facts and figures to help with sparrow identification but also includes fascinating background information on these birds often referred to as LBBs (little brown birds) or LBJs (little brown jobs). As part of the Peterson Reference Guide Series published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, the Peterson Reference Guide to Sparrows of North America is available now at your local bookstore! Listen to Rick’s interview on BirdCallsRadio. |
