Testimonials - November, 5, 2009

Hilda,

Thank you very much for a wonderful birding adventure. It was good to learn the bird calls as I was seeing the birds. The owl adventure was especially great--seeing AND hearing the owl. Wow! I will definitely recommend you to my birding friends.

Take care,

Jim Gruber

2009 Birding

This year has been an excellent one for birding. We have been following a small pond since the Summer with Masked and West Indian Whistling ducks.

Both the Screech Owl and Nightjar have been very cooperative with those that have gone with us on night adventures in search of these two endemic species at El Yunque National Forest (Screech Owl) and Guánica (Nightjar).
