About
Pitta Nature Tours is a Sandy, Utah-based birding tour company founded in 2007 by Tim Avery, originally as Mountain West Birding Company before rebranding to Pitta Nature Tours in 2020. The operation specialises in Mountain West US targets such as Flammulated Owl, Himalayan Snowcock and Cassia Crossbill, alongside international programmes.
Internationally, Pitta runs tours across Mexico (Yucatán, Cozumel, Chiapas, Baja California) and Indonesia (Bali and the Lesser Sundas including Sumba, Rote, Timor and Flores). Their Baja itinerary covers four endemics plus a Whale Shark excursion, while the Yucatán programme highlights more than a dozen Yucatán Peninsula endemics. Custom and scheduled small-group tours are bookable through pittatours.com.
