    Bearded Helmetcrest

    Not to discredit COLOMBIA Birding (Diego Calderon) account, but I just returned from a northern Colombia tour and was very fortunate to interview the guys that rediscovered the Helmetcrest as well as ask other local guides in the area about this report. While my Spanish is far from perfect I was...

    What are the top birding sites in Colombia?

    Birding (safely) in Colombia It is a great disservice to Montezuma that the website "Birding (safely) in Colombia" is not corrected, especially if the author has been at the site recently. The website is signed "Jurgen Beckers, 17 september 2006". But as I mentioned: The Las Tangaras bird...

    Best places anywhere to see Hummingbirds ?

    Absolutely - I'll never forget the feeders at Buenaventura Reserve in sourthern Ecuador - you almost need to wear a hard-hat and glasses - the diversity and abundance of hummingbirds is outrageous! Of the hummingbird feeders I saw in Colombia (and there are many good ones), the best is without...

    What are the top birding sites in Colombia?

    Thank you Filip. I did research both Las Tangaras, Montezuma Road and other Choco sites. Las Tangaras and Montezuma Road are almost identical in species, but someone noted safety concerns on the Montezuma Road Birding (safely) in Colombia website. However, it is important to note that many...

    ID Two Birds, Colombia

    A pair of Plain Antvireo I'm no expert, but I looked up in my Proaves Field Guide to the Birds of Colombia and it is clear the photos are of a pair of Plain Antvireo. The first being a female and the second a male. Also they are in distribution and altitude range. I also note the Proaves...

    Wow... Mysticete, this is called the "BIRD FORUM" with the clear aim "to take part in lively discussions in the forum". I hope you don't mind, but this is a discussion worth having. Thank you.

    I agree with Miles and many others that this situation is far more complex than what is presented. It is irritating that the Ignorant chime in on this thread (and others) when they have not bothered to read the different documents (on both sides) regarding this sad situation. All those documents...

    Please Morgan - don't make up stuff to confuse this discussion further. Facts: the first bird collected was reportedly found dead in a mist-net whilst the second specimen was intentionally trapped and killed in the nature reserve by the Proaves employee. Knowing full well this was wrong, that...

    I'm sure the global ornithological community are riveted on the dubious voting decisions of a personally-appointed bird-collecting-indoctrinated committee... I know the wannabe ornithologists luv em, but I'm off to Exminster marshes in the mornin with my 12-gauge, had better get some sleep...

    It is clear that BirdLife International did not wait for the inevitable and biased decision of SACC as they published the species account just months ago while SACC was trying to overturn clear taxonomic priority. I notice that the 7th crucial "deciding" YES vote came from Gary Stiles who...
