Ventures Birding Caps

 Next time you are out in the field, look the part of a “real birder” with a Ventures Birding cap!

 We are pleased to announce that Ventures now has its own especially embroidered ball caps. Each one is a natural khaki color and comes with either a green or blue bill. Each also has a Red Warbler embroidered on it, originally drawn by Ventures owner, Simon Thompson.

 Our friends at the Capeteria at the Asheville Mall here in Asheville, NC worked with us for many hours to get the warbler just right! Thanks guys!

Chris looking very professional modeling the new Ventures cap.

 Prices are $15 each, plus postage and packing at $2.50  

Unique Ventures Bird Checklists

 These checklists have been used on Ventures tours for the last 10 years and we have perfected them to be as user-friendly as possible. They have a large, easy to read format and are very are attractively laid out. Both English and scientific names are included and we try to keep ahead of all the relevant scientific changes.

The cost is $5.00 each plus postage. For 5 or more, the price drops to $4.00 each.

One more thing….they can be customized for your own personal trip.  Just let us know your destination and the trip dates and we will produce it for you. Of course, please give us some advance notice!
