This is what I look like when I go birding or guiding. As of march 2018 I am a licenced National tourist Guide. Top-of-the-line binoculars, tape-recorder and two iPods loaded with birdsounds from South America. Since a couple of years back, I am completely free-lance and arrange my own trips all over Ecuador and northern Peru. Feel free to contact me for custom made itineraries to meet all kinds of needs, be them photographic trips, hard-core listing trips or just general birding trips. My camera equipment is a Canon 5D MkIII with a 150-600 mm zoom. If I drive I use my own Nissan X-Trail 2015. I also have a significant number of recordings, mostly from Ecuador and Peru, and over 1000 are uploaded on the excellent Xeno-canto website for free use. www.xeno-canto.org My Ecuador list currently stands at 1563 species (Clements) - second to none!

Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing it with the world. There are not much people with Ecuador's birds knowledge. Great job. Keep doing the same way.

Hej!
Konstigt nog har jag inte kollat dina göranden i Sydamerika på länge. Vilka läckra bilder du får, måste planera något i Anderna efter Alaska (m Mathias m fl) och Brazil (m Lori m fl) i sommar. Kör hårt Roger.

Tjenare Roger
Länge sen sist:-) Fantastiska gallerier du har.... Man blir grön av avund!
Får se till att komma över och plåta lite på den sidan av Atlanten också! Den kontinenten är en vit fläck på min karta! Jag skulle nog bli heltokig där borta ;-)
Ser att du också kör Nikon-utrustning. Har precis skaffat en D3:a + 300/2.8 vilket är en trevlig kombo. Lite tyngre men otrolig prestanda och med fantastiska möjligheter att plåta i dåliga ljusförhållanden. Nått för dig kan jag tänka.
Ha det bra (du får väl stå ut med att "bara ha" Tanagers och Kolibrier)

Hi Roger, I was looking at the Wild Sumaco site to see my image of the Coppery-chested Jacamar that Bonnie had added. I love birdwatching but I really get charged up about taking photos. I saw your name on a few photos and so I typed it in and came to your site.You have some terrific photos! I see that you have a Nikon and I have a Canon..just sold my 20D to buy a 40D as it is quieter and has a better spot focus. I have the 100-400 IS and had thought about the 300 f4 but opted for the 70-200 f4 IS as my back up lense. I also like to take photos of the landscape on our birding trips so it would work better (I also have a Nissan 02)
My husband, Paul Prevett and I were birding with Charlie last Nov. on both slopes around Quito. We had a great time.
Most of my photos find their way into my external hard drives and I then use them for reference for what ever paintings I do of wildlife. I wish I had more time for photography but I am addicted to paint.
Enjoy your birding in Ecuador. We sure did.
