A Little Birdie Told Us
"Allison and Arturo were patient the whole time and I loved their enthusiasm which reflected ours with each sighting. They truly do love what they do and we felt their excitement with each discovery; at one point we were all so excited that we couldn’t wait to see what we were going to discover in the next tree."
Tour Overview
This tour takes place at the Acuaparque, a former quarry that transformed into an urban park with a large pond where migratory and resident birds congregate to search for food and rest. As we walk through the park we will look for a variety of terrestrial and aquatic species such as herons, warblers, motmots, doves and raptors like ospreys and roadside hawks. The tour concludes with resting in a shaded alcove that has a view of surrounding trees and the vast lake, where we will keep our eyes peeled for the resident snail kite, kingfishers, ibises and limpkins.
