    Feeders from a hummer perspective

    This is kind of a random thought, and probably obvious, but I was sitting in my backyard watching the male Anna's defending "his" feeder the other day, and wondered at why he defended it so vigorously when the feeder has 4 ports and is effectively bottomless. Then, in a rare moment of insight...

    ProAves?

    We were pretty taken aback with the steep price increases at the ProAves lodges that have been put in place in the past couple of years. According to the Birdwatching in Colombia book, the price at the two lodges we visited was $65/person as of 2013, but we paid $225 for two people per night...

    Olinguito

    Hi all, We got back from our trip to Bahia Solano and the area around Medellin about 10 days ago, and it was a very exciting journey. We met (and got reacquainted with) some fantastic people, which is par for the course in Colombia, and also saw some wonderful birds. We didn't see any unusual...

    Los Katios

    Hi, I'm thinking about going to Los Katios the end of January, and there really isn't any more up-to-date information that I've been able to find other than what's in the Birdwatching in Colombia guide. Does anybody have more recent information than that, e.g. is the park even open to visitors...

    Bahia in October

    Hi! My wife and I are going to Brazil next month, and will be spending about a week in Bahia. We'll be driving ourselves from Salvador to the Chapada Diamantina area and probably Boa Nova as well, but we don't really want to go too much further afield from Salvador than that. I've got GPS...

    Gareno lodge contact

    Hi all, Does anybody have a current email address for Gareno lodge? The one on their website bounced when I tried to contact them. I'm reluctant to call, as my Spanish is passable but I struggle to comprehend everything on the phone and don't want any misunderstandings. I can't say I'm...

    Exotic Hummer GPS locator

    Hi All, I've been playing around with the idea of putting together a simple (and free) web portal that allows people to log sightings of unusual hummingbirds, or, at least, hummingbirds that are not in their usual locations, and query that database for information about species location, etc...

    Please help ID this bird...

    We saw these birds in late July on the shore of Protection Island in the Puget Sound near Port Townsend, Washington, USA. They were flying down to the waters edge and seemed to forage there, in a flock of about 10. They look a little like Hermit Thrushes, but the behavior and location seem...

    Birding Northern Peru in November

    Hi there, My wife and I are going to be in northern Peru for the first two weeks in November, but at this point we only have the plane tickets, so there's a bit of a blank slate. We have a copy of "Where to watch birds in Peru" by Thomas Valqui, but that book is about 6 years old, so we're not...

    Going to Peru in May 2009

    Hi all, My wife and I are going to Peru in May for two weeks. We're mostly interested in hummingbirds, so we've been thinking about the best way to see the greatest variety of species without running ourselves ragged. Peru's a big country with pretty rough transportation, so I think we're...
