Danger Stalks the Tundra

Ptarmigan Ptours

Dear Friends,

We’ve been talking about this for years, and now it’s finally here: Ptarmigan Ptours – a birding experience unlike any other!  

Ptarmigan are just the beginning. Churchill sits directly on a major migratory flyway, making it one of the best birding destinations in North America. From tundra swans and snow geese, to jaegers, loons, and the dazzling warblers that pass through each spring and fall, every day offers something new and spectacular. And with the wide-open tundra and Hudson Bay shoreline as your backdrop, even the “common” sightings feel extraordinary.

Led by Discover Churchill’s own Tomas Taylor, Ptarmigan Ptours are crafted for birders of all levels. With Tomas’s sharp eye and deep knowledge of northern ecosystems, you’ll be guided to the best vantage points to find, identify, and photograph the incredible variety of species that call Churchill home—whether for a season or just a stopover.

Join us for this one-of-a-kind adventure where every flap of wings could be your next lifer. Just watch out for those ptarmigan, they’ve got you right where they want you!
