点评:We are experienced birders and we booked a tour with Three Brothers for 4/19/24. Elbert (the youngest brother) was our guide. We met at Stella’s in Monte Verde at 6:00. We discussed our target birds (Resplendent Quetzal and Three-wattled Bellbird) and Elbert decided that the Selvatura Park canopy hike would give us our best opportunities to see the target birds. We birded near Stella’s for about 30 minutes (Orange-bellied Trogan was the highlight) and then followed Elbert in our car for the 30 minute drive to Selvatura. The Selvatura canopy tour has a separate fee of approx. $50 per person, but it was worth it! We had good looks at 6 Quetzals, including a male in a nest cavity. We also had multiple looks at Bellbirds. Elbert knows the birds very well and has a great ear too. He is fast with his scope and works hard to make sure everybody sees the birds. He also is very knowledgeable of the plants and overall ecology of the cloud forest. We had over 30 species during our morning tour including great views of Azure-hooded Jay. If you want to see the birds, book a tour with the Brothers! We will be back!
翻译:我们是经验丰富的观鸟者,我们预订了 4/19/24 的三兄弟之旅。Elbert(最小的弟弟)是我们的向导。我们 6:00 在蒙特韦尔德的 Stella’s 见面。我们讨论了我们的目标鸟类(凤尾绿咬鹃和三肉垂铃鸟),Elbert 决定塞尔瓦图拉公园树冠徒步旅行将为我们提供最佳机会来观看目标鸟类。我们在 Stella’s 附近观鸟约 30 分钟(橙腹红喉松鸦是亮点),然后跟随 Elbert 开车 30 分钟前往塞尔瓦图拉。塞尔瓦图拉树冠之旅需要单独收费,每人约 50 美元,但值得!我们仔细观察了 6 只凤尾绿咬鹃,包括一只在巢穴中的雄性。我们还多次观察了铃鸟。Elbert 非常了解鸟类,而且耳朵也很好。他用望远镜观察得很快,努力确保每个人都能看到鸟。他还非常了解云雾林的植物和整体生态。早上的游览中,我们看到了 30 多种鸟类,包括蓝冠蓝鸦。如果您想看鸟,可以预订 Brothers 的游览!我们会回来的!
