10,000 Birds

Of course I will! My only other experience with an Audubon Club field trip anywhere, on a cold October morning in the American Midwest, was frankly kind of a bust. But this one was a wonderful experience. But will I bird? In fact, I already have.

Rupununi River Cruise

10,000 Birds

During the rainy season the Rupununi River shares a watershed with the Amazon and is connected to several other water courses via flooded plains. Cameras were still tucked away, but the experience left us all without words. The second bird followed suit, physics itself noisily straining to keep the bird airborne as it wheeled overhead.

A Cuckoo in Costa Rica Brings in the Birders

10,000 Birds

Many a birder with years of experience in the Neotropical region has never ever seen or heard an RVG.
