Obsessive Compulsive Birding

Obsessive Compulsive Birding, LLC is a solo guiding operation run by Jim Eager out of Central Florida's Space Coast. Tours focus on the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and surrounding hotspots, with itineraries built around target species for visiting listers — Florida Scrub-Jay, Snail Kite, Crested Caracara and Red-cockaded Woodpecker among the regulars. The company offers both standard and fully customized half- and full-day tours and pitches itself to Orlando-area visitors looking to step off the theme-park grid. Eager's expertise extends beyond birds into Florida butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies, making the trips suit naturalists as well as pure birders.
